The theme we worked on was "The Road to the Sun."�Among the topics we have been working on, we have the challenge of thinking about how the space probe called the "Parker Solar Probe" became the first man-made object to enter the atmosphere of the Sun (touch the Sun), the dangers encountered and overcome on the way to the Sun, and what lessons can be learned.�However, when I read the assignment sentences, there were many cases where the words were difficult or I could not understand the meaning.�I also felt that there were few opportunities to come into contact with such information.�So, I thought about how I could increase the opportunities to interact with it.�

What does "touch the sun" mean?�

As mentioned earlier, the sun is not solid, so it is not clear where the boundary of the sun is.�However, at a certain distance from the Sun, the solar wind is generated by the relationship between the Sun's gravity and the magnetic field, and this boundary is called the Alven critical sueface.�The first to successfully reach this boundary was the Parker Solar Probe.�

What is the Parker Solar Probe?�

This is the first space probe that has been able to directly observe the Sun‘s external corona.�mission�・To follow the flow of energy that heats the solar corona and accelerates the solar wind.�・To determine the structure and dynamics of plasma and magnetic fields in the region where the solar wind flows.�・To understand the mechanisms that accelerate high-energy particles and transport them to the surroundings.�

Awesome Features of the Parker Solar Probe�

1: Shield to block solar heat: carbon fiber�2: Rare metal materials that can withstand ultra-high temperatures: niobium, titanium zirconium molybdenum alloy, tungsten�3: System that can fly autonomously�

How to communicate this amazing success�

What we have talked about so far has been based on online information we spent a lot of time researching and organizing.�Much of the content was not easy for us to understand, and it would have been too difficult if we did not work on it with enthusiasm.�And as well as being difficult, some of the information was hard to find. All of it required intense focus in order to begin to understand it.�We thought about how to make the information easier to find and what made it difficult to reach in the first place.�

Our Takeaways�

We hadn’t heard about this amazing new discovery in human history.�We learned about it through participating in this event, and we hope it will reach more people.�There are many things we don't understand, but we’re glad that we were able to experience the joy of learning.�In order to reach more people, we feel that our team needs to make our ideas more concrete.�We often felt regret during this event because there were many things that we ignored since we didn’t understand them. We don’t want to leave things as is, so we decided that we want to solve things one by one to further our understanding.�
