Get in, let's drive

Hello, I’m Taylah. You don’t know me and I’ll make sure when you finish reading this that I will make you forget about me. No one is allowed to know about my existence. I’m the one watching everything, I see everything and everyone. I know if there’s life on other planets and galaxies. I know what’s going on inside a black hole. I know why the big bang happened, I was here before it and I will be here forever. Don’t ask me any questions, I won’t answer. I’m here to talk about Parker, the probe you sent to the sun. I really enjoy seeing how humans reinvent themselves over and over, how many times they have to. But with this one you really outdid yourselves. I knew you would make it and when, but even so I was astonished. The things you have discovered are pretty cool. You were able to see the wind coming from the sun still rotating, that’s awesome because the more you know about your sun, your beautiful star, the more you know about you and your planet, where you guys came from. I’m exc...

  In the solar system we have this tradition of always talking to each other about what our residents are up to. Since I can remember, the residents located on Earth (they call themselves humans) were always very curious. Every now and then they send things they build out here in space, I think it’s cool, I love watching it. I heard they see me as a challenge because of my temperature. Well, what can I do?  Recently they sent a very tiny space object over to explore me. I loved it and got very excited. I have to say I love company and talking. Since it’s just me and Mercury, I only talk to him and sometimes it gets kinda boring.  I’m going to tell you some things about me. I know you are from Earth so I will tell you what I do to your planet. You must have heard about the northern lights or aurora borealis, they are lights that show up in your sky when I send some winds. But you can only see it in the sky at the poles of the Earth. The winds in question are charged, they ...

Well, my story starts when it was hot and it was summer end. I was really excited to finally see the sun up close. I heard about it for a long time and the scientists who built me always talked about how they were worried about whether I was going to survive or not. That I will tell you at the end of this. Before we go into the deep stuff, I feel like I need to let you know properly who I am. My name is Parker because of a friend of mine called Eugene Parker. He was an astrophysicist who really liked to study the sun’s winds. You might be asking: why is this probe so important and what is it doing in outer space? Well, for starters, I’m here because I like outer space… and I felt like coming… and I’m curious, leave me alone. Second, I’m important for several reasons. Humans built and sent me to learn more about the sun and its behavior. They wanted to know about the influence of the sun on the solar system and understanding the sun we understand other stars of the universe that look li...
