NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is named after pioneering solar and plasma physicist Eugene N. Parker (Jun 10, 1927 – Mar 15, 2022). It is the first NASA spacecraft named after a living person.
In the 1950s, Parker proposed the existence of the solar wind and predicted the shape of the solar magnetic field. In 1987, he proposed nanoflares to explain why the corona is much hotter than the Sun’s surface.

  Remembering Visionary Heliophysicist Eugene Parker
  from @jhuapl
  Eugene N. Parker, visionary of heliophysics and namesake of NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission, has passed away. He was 94. As a young professor at the University of Chicago in the mid-1950s, Parker developed a mathematical theory that predicted the solar wind, the constant outflow of solar material from the Sun.
