By the end of 2024 it will come within 7 million kilometers of the Sun. That's 1/9 as far as Mercury is from the Sun, so the Sun will look 81 times brighter than on Mercury. It's just 10 solar radii from the Sun's center! It'll be moving at 0.064% the speed of light. (2/n)pic.twitter.com/5icLvr0ISp
any idea what the max velocity is before it gets too hot to work? Would be neat to see some relativistic images sent back
It's scheduled to reach 0.064% the speed of light in the 22nd perihelion, but I can't find any information on what will happen after the 24th! Someone must have thought about this.... does anyone here know? Of course it won't reach relativistic speeds.pic.twitter.com/YoQS30dL4d
Although I wouldn’t call even 1% of lightspeed “relativistic”, I just got a surprise by the following comparison: the deflection of starlight by the sun that “validated“ GR was about 8 microradians. You can get that much relativistic aberration at 0.0008% c, or 2.4 km/sec!
