Touching the Sun

Two elements make life possible:
the Sun’s energy and abundant water.
Yet, the Sun's power remained obscured
by enormous distance, light, and heat.

Until now. In 2018, NASA launched the Parker
Solar Probe to touch the Sun and study the Sun's
atmosphere. In 2024, the Probe reached the
closest orbit. A team of artists
and scientists asked what this epic journey feels like,
looks like, and sounds like. The result: a unique vision
of the Probe’s entire journey, condensed into 10 minutes,
with a concert for Carillon and Cellphones at UC Berkeley's
Campanile. You get to listen, watch, and play along:

Come join the journey to the Sun.

Dr. Nour Rawafi, Chief Scientist of the Parker Solar Probe, will
discuss the mission at Campbell Hall before the concert at 10:00 am.
