$NASA\'s Parker Solar Probe sits inside a cleanroom at Goddard Space Flight Center, March 28, 2018, in Greenbelt, Maryland, as workers prepare it for launch. The spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch this summer, will travel closer to the Sun than any other spacecraft in history as it attempts to help researchers better understand stars throughout the universe.
