Humans have historically developed some pretty fast objects, from high-speed jets to speeding
00:08
bullets.
00:09
However, according to NASA, the Parker Solar Probe is the fastest thing ever built by man.
00:14
The space agency says the probe is currently traveling at an unfathomable 394,736 miles
00:22
per hour, which Science Alert reports that's fast enough to fly from New York to L.A. in
00:27
just 20 seconds, or fly around the planet 15 times in an hour.
00:31
This all comes after the probe's 20th trip around the sun.
00:34
The Parker Solar Probe is also the human-made object with the record for closest solar flyby
00:38
as well, coming within just 4.5 million miles of it.
00:42
And its next pass is set to be even closer, coming within 3.8 million miles of the sun.
00:47
But the spacecraft can take it.
00:49
The Parker Solar Probe can withstand temperatures upwards of 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:54
So whose speed record did the Solar Probe break?
00:56
Well, its own.
00:57
Still, the Solar Probe isn't done yet.
01:00
Its mission still involves many more trips around the sun.
01:03
And who knows what records it might yet set.
