What’s it’s purpose really?

Happened a week ago and I watched the launch live. At its top speed at closest approach to the sun which will be 4 million miles away from the sun the probe will be traveling at 430,000 miles per hour. That’s 250 times faster than the speed of a bullet from a rifle.

So it will take 27 years for it to get to the sun?

Gravitational pull idiot .
If the sun is able to pull massive planets like Jupiter to circle around it, what’s a man made object the weight of a Demio?
It will be whizzing round like a fly on super steroids.

7 years, it will be in the envisaged orbit in 2024.
