26 miles is well withing the sun’s corona.

From NASA: “Over the mission’s seven year lifetime, Solar Orbiter will reach an inclination of 24 degrees above the Sun’s equator, increasing to 33 degrees with an additional three years of extended mission operations. At closest approach the spacecraft will pass within 26 MILLION MILES of the Sun.”

It’s okay tho: it’s the Daily Mail so we’re lucky it didn’t attribute the mission to Khloe Kardashian’s butt or Brad Pitt’s abs.
