xkcd: Sun Avoidance

“The comic shows the end of a table of human missions, both terrestrial and space-based, ranked by how far they stayed away from the Sun.”
“This comic was posted the day after December 24, 2024, when the Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the Sun. As a result, it has set a new record for the worst failure in solar avoidance. This mission needs to be really close to the Sun so it can make close-up analysis of its corona and magnetic field. It has been engineered with special solar shields to protect it from the extreme heat and radiation.”
