The Parker Solar Probe's first perihelion results have been received, but detailed updates are lacking, leading to speculation about delays in data processing and communication. The project's blog indicates that data downloads began on December 7, and it may take weeks to fully process the information. Concerns have been raised about the absence of preliminary results, particularly given the public interest and funding involved in such missions. Some participants suggest that the government shutdown may have contributed to the communication delays, while others emphasize the importance of thorough data analysis before public release. Overall, the lack of timely updates is seen as unusual for a mission of this significance.
