Dr. Eugene N. Parker, visionary of heliophysics and namesake of NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, passed away on March 15, 2022. He was 94.

As a young professor at the University of Chicago in the mid-1950s, Parker developed a mathematical theory that predicted the solar wind, the constant outflow of solar material from the Sun. Throughout his career, Parker revolutionized the field time and again, advancing ideas that addressed the fundamental questions about the workings of our Sun and stars throughout the universe.
