• Resumen

  • Lewis remarks on NASA's decision to name one of its missions, a sun-skimming spacecraft, after a living scientist for the first time. The Parker Solar Probe honors Eugene Parker, a retired US astrophysicist about to turn 90 years old. Parker's work focused on the solar corona, the tenuous outer atmosphere of the sun.
