Altitude required for "Near the Sun"?

[SirJodelstein]

Hi, i am flying a mission to explore the sun in close-up detail. I want to put my Periapsis low enough to get the "Near the sun" science results from the experiments and sensors. Could anyone tell me how close i need to get for this task? Is there maybe a community-maintained thread that lists the science locations for near/high above for all celestials?

hmm.. my best guess would be 13 080 000 m which is the 100X warp frame I'm not entirely sure I'll check though

Million kilometres.

Currently, the physics don't work correctly for temperature changes. The science bays respond as you are in deep space at present. As far as how close, about a ridiculous 1,500 meters before your ship goes poof!

thanks a lot!

Lol, the Sun looks like a giant cookie, I hope your Kerbals brought some milk
