On Christmas Eve, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will come closer than ever before to “touching the sun,” getting more than eight times closer than Mercury does to our home star. It will also smash its own speed record, becoming the fastest human-made object when it zooms past our home star.

While the probe will make a few more final flybys in the next 12 months, it is unlikely to get much closer than it will on Tuesday.
