A spacecraft that has studied the Sun
Our answer book holds 42 answers to “A spacecraft that has studied the Sun”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. SOHO, Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter are what most people type first, so they score the least. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Space questions reward anyone who remembers the names behind the famous missions, not just the missions themselves. You will find it in stage 36, “Probe Parade”, of the Cosmos mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
