The Midlands Astronomy Club looks forward to a new feat of solar exploration.
A spacecraft is to reach the closest it has ever come to the sun, today.
Scientists are hoping to better understand solar winds, and how they impact Earth.
The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest ever human-built object, will have to cover the distance between London and New York in just 30 seconds, to stop it being pulled into the sun.
Seanie Morris from the Midlands Astronomy Club says the power of sun's upper atmosphere is phenomenal:
