Parker’s flyby at around 6:53 a.m. ET on Christmas Eve was planned as the first of the spacecraft’s final three closest approaches, with the other two expected to occur on March 22 and June 19.The spacecraft was expected to get so close to our star that if the distance between Earth and the sun were the length of an American football field, the spacecraft would be about 4 yards from the end zone, according to NASA.At this proximity, the probe would be able to fly through plumes of plasma as well as within a solar eruption if one releases from the sun.
