A NASA spacecraft will make another close brush with the sun, the second of three planned encounters through the sizzling solar atmosphere.
The Parker Solar Probe made its record-breaking first pass within 6 million kilometres of the scorching sun in December, flying closer than any object sent before.
Plans called for it to attempt that journey again on Saturday (local time). As the flyby happens out of communication range, the mission team wouldn't hear back from Parker until Tuesday afternoon.
Parker was the fastest spacecraft built by humans and was once again set to hit 690,000km/h at closest approach.
The mission aims to explain how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years, and how the universe expanded so fast in its first moments.

Launched in 2018 to get a close-up look at the sun, Parker has since flown straight through its crownlike outer atmosphere, or corona.
Scientists hoped the data from Parker would help them better understand why the sun’s outer atmosphere was hundreds of times hotter than its surface and what drove the solar wind, the supersonic stream of charged particles constantly blasting away from the sun.
