How to solve the Three Body Problem.
The Parker Solar Probe moves 120 miles per second as it passes around the Sun. That's nearly half a million miles per hour!
Parker Solar Probe: 191 km per second.
Nuclear Manhole Cover: 55 km per second
Voyager 1: 17 km per second
Voyager 2: 15 km per second
Most likely it just evaporated, or disintegrated or something, but I think its pretty unlikely it survived that absolutely bonkers acceleration.
What are the chances it was blasted into the sun?
If the event was near the equatorial near midday then there's a very very (very) slim chance it was pointed directly at the sun.

Any time this comes up I'm reminded of this little interaction in Mass Effect 2:
Man. I haven't seen an ifunny logo in so long. Are people still on it?
Maybe it desintegrated and thus vanished from the consecutive frame?
Atomic blasts are kind of powerful versus an iron lid.
