   At perihelion moments ago at 11:53:48 UTC, this was the state of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), with all instruments focused on the Sun -
   Speed: 686,718 km/h
   Distance from Sun's Surface: 6.167 million km
   Heat Shield Temperature: 941.7°C

   Note that these are calculated values; the PSP is not communicating with earth at this point.

   PSP is now in an 88 day orbit around the Sun and will make at least 2 more similar close encounters of the Sun in 2025.
