You need to aim unde the sun as is coming over you, and just keep holding forward (upwards on left stick) If it looks like your too far below it, trust me, keep pushing forward. By the time you go the appropriate distance it'll line up. Popped up instantly as soon as I couldn't control the mini rocket.

I can't figure it out. I've tried flying it into the sun but I never get the achievement, and I can't figure out who Hollow's Lantern is.

@apostle92627 - Hollow's lantern is the object that orbits Brittle Hollow. You can see a map off all the planets in your spaceship.

The sun is probably easier as it's huge.

Can you elaborate? I’ve tried this several times but it goes out of view before getting to the sun and the achievement never unlocks.

The model rocket WILL be out of view by the time it gets close to reaching the sun. You just have to aim your cross hairs at the sun and the model rocket will eventually reach it. Keep pressing forward so the model will fly towards the sun.

Got it first try. Just look up before launching and just before the sun comes over the horizon launch that baby.

+1 to Breachofsanity's solution. This should be added to the guide as it works perfectly.

Use BreachOfSanity's method, it's perfect. Don't push forward at all, just hold RT and you'll hit the sun no problem.

Was easier than hitting the moon for me. The sun is large and has a lot of gravity to pull the model ship in. Just watch behind you and as you see the sun peeking out control the ship and just hold the trigger to fly straight up. Then just make minor adjustments to keep towards the middle of the sun as the camera will center on and follow the model ship.

This video was recorded in Portuguese but it gives you a visual reference on how to reach the sun with your rocket model. Fly towards the sun using RT and the left thumbstick. Once the zoom pans out you know you got it.

I found this buried in the comments for another solution, it works perfectly. It should be its own solution.

This is not my solution, full credit to Breach0fSanity:

Got it first try. Just look up before launching and just before the sun comes over the horizon launch that baby.
To clarify:
  • from the model ship controls, turn round 180 degrees
  • wait for the Sun to appear over the cliffs
  • take control of the model ship and hold cn_RT, nothing else

NO SPOILERS

This is an easy achievement. It took me under 5 attempts to get.

Tips:

-Do the From the Hearth to the Moon achievement first, as this will destroy the rocket and you will need to reset. A link that guide is below.

Guide to Mica's Wrath Achievement:

-Head to Mica's Model Rocket in the village.

-Wait until the sun starts to rise to your left. While you are waiting you can attempt the From the Hearth to the Moon Achievement Here:
Outer WildsFrom the Hearth to the MoonThe From the Hearth to the Moon achievement in Outer Wilds worth 15 pointsLand the model rocket on Attlerock.


-When the sun comes into view, take off and accelerate towards it. The view distance may make the rocket disappear, but it is still there. Just always point towards the sun.

-When the camera zooms out, you will be unable to control the rocket anymore. After a few seconds the achievement should pop.

Congratulations on earning the Mica's Wrath Achievement!

Location: Timber Heart
Time: Anytime but do it AFTER From the Hearth to the Moon trophy_gold.png 
Special note: The model rocket will disappear forever from that loop

This can be a little trickier than the other one but it can be done easily: wait for the sun to be exactly in the middle of the sky and then launch the model rocket. Hold l2.png and give thrust with lsn.png. With a bit of luck, the gravity of the sun will intercept the model.

You get up to the launch site of the test “rocket” and when the sun is (IMPORTANT!) almost above you (that is, not above, but further, but already in sight)
At this moment we launch it upward and press the gas until it crashes)))

It’s a very long way to fly to a void lamp, and it’s small, but sending a model rocket into the sun won’t be difficult. We just take off with a slight lead and don’t let go of the gas pedal until we get the achievement.
