Here's a quote.
"More recently, the combination of nuclear energy theory, laboratory experiments, and better solar observations has enabled scientists to obtain a good picture of the overall structure of the Sun. It is a ball of gas, composed of about 90 percent hydrogen, 9 percent helium, and only 1 percent of all the other elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, and iron. The diameter of the Sun is about 1,390,000 kilometers (865,000 miles), or about 109 times that of the Earth, and the Sun is 300,000 times as massive as the Earth."
The quote above is very interesting. Thanks for telling us all about the sun NASA.
Here's another cool article.

The following quote will teach you how they know what's at the center of the sun, what kind of fuel it burns, and what percentage of these fuels are used in over all consumption.
"We are going to visit a living, breathing star for the first time," says program scientist Lika Guhathakurta of NASA Headquarters."
Going to the sun for the first time, good to know.
These quotes are from the same article.
Mystery #1—the corona: If you stuck a thermometer in the surface of the sun, it would read about 6000o C. Intuition says the temperature should drop as you back away; instead, it rises. The sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, registers more than a million degrees Celsius, hundreds of times hotter than the star below. This high temperature remains a mystery more than 60 years after it was first measured.
Well that's an interesting mystery. When was the previous article written?

Published in 2012. Okay, we're still good. Lets not worry about it. NASA can be trusted, right?
Mystery #2—the solar wind: The sun spews a hot, million mph wind of charged particles throughout the solar system. Planets, comets, asteroids—they all feel it."
Okay, what next?
"To solve these mysteries, Solar Probe+ will actually enter the corona," says Guhathakurta. "That's where the action is."
Alright. Probe Plus will enter the corona, where NASA just told us the temperatures reach a million degrees celsius, and there are million degree winds? That's pretty hot. Lets check out our periodic table for a second, and see what they're going to make this thing out of. They're going to need some pretty tough temperature resistant material. Not to mention the winds. Houses blow apart in 200/mph plus winds.

Well, cars are made of iron or something, but that has a melting point of about 1500 degrees. Nickel wouldn't be much use melting at a lower temperature of around 1400 degrees. Man, too bad we didn't have some mythril. Titanium! That's the next best thing, right? Well, sort of. It hasn't got the highest known melting point, but even titanium is useless since it will melt at less than 1700 degrees. We're running out of options, people. Carbon is the highest on the period table, and that's burning up at 3500 degrees.
Ugh, lets just face it. They're not using a raw material. Obviously they're inventing something right? They better be. It's going to be hot up there!
Don't worry though! Solar Probe Plus has a thermal shield.
Okay, so what's the point of the article? JB's talking crazy again. I know, I know, I can write things pretty confusing. Here's the point. The article about Probe Plus it's dated 2008. So!? So! In the article of 2012 they were telling us what the sun burned for fuel down to the percentile, and how hot the corona was, and showed us what the core looks like. Maybe they do know, Lets give them the benefit of the doubt. Surely by 2012 they know all this by now, right?
Wrong!
The answer comes from the launch date of Solar Probe Plus.

That's right THE FIRST probe is due to launch in 2 years. Looks at watch. Do you think NASA hires psychics too?
Edit:
This article is being edited because NASA said in the same article they were going to test from a distance away where temperatures were 1400 degrees celcius. This is much more logical, but only goes to show they can't help themselves but to lie in the same article, or simply just need to learn to write. One minute they write the corona is 1,000,000 degrees celsius, that they'll be entering the corona, and the next minute they say they're going where it's 1400 degrees celcius. NASA should really make up their mind.
