The amount of energy that the sun releases in one solar flare – emitted in a matter of minutes or hours – could easily meet our civilisation’s needs for 40,000 years.

Watch Nour Rawafi, NASA Astrophysicist and Project Scientist for the Parker Solar Probe, share the marvel – and mysteries – of our live-giving star. And break down the thrilling journey to build the fastest object in human history. That survives cosmic heat. To touch the sun.

And hear him in conversation with Shoma Chaudhury, Founder of Lucid Lines & Founder-Director, SYNAPSE, as they discuss how the Parker Solar Probe isn’t just a scientific breakthrough – but a meditation of human audacity, belief, and curiosity.
