Dr. Nour E. Raouafi is an Astrophysicist and a Principal Professional Staff at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland. I am also the Project Scientist of NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission, which launched on August 12, 2018, and is the record holder of the closest man-made object to a star (i.e., the Sun) and also the fastest spacecraft. Parker will get as close as 3.8 million miles from the solar surface, that almost 4% of the Sun-Earth distance (i.e., 93 million miles)
