A NASA fará história em 24 de dezembro de 2024, quando a sonda Parker Solar Probe passar a apenas 6,1 milhões de quilômetros da superfície do Sol. A sonda será a primeira a chegar tão perto da estrela central do Sistema Solar.
“Estamos basicamente a pousar numa estrela”, disse Nour Raouafi, um dos responsáveis pelo projeto, em entrevista à BBC. “Esta será uma conquista monumental para toda a humanidade. É equivalente a termos pousado na Lua em 1969”.
A agência espacial norte-americana estima que a Parker Solar Probe passe pelo Sol a uma velocidade de 195 quilômetros por segundo. A sonda terá a oportunidade não só de estudar a atmosfera solar, mas também de captar fotografias da superfície.
A Parker Solar Probe foi lançada em 2018 e está em uma órbita polar que a leva cada vez mais perto do Sol. A sonda foi equipada com uma série de instrumentos científicos que permitirão aos cientistas estudar a atmosfera solar em detalhes nunca antes vistos.
A passagem da Parker Solar Probe pelo Sol será uma oportunidade única para a ciência. Os dados coletados pela sonda ajudarão os cientistas a entender melhor como o Sol funciona e como ele influencia o Sistema Solar.
American humour sometimes gets accused of being formulaic, and sure, there are tropes. But every genre has formulas, and the best US creators subvert them masterfully. You think you know where the joke is going, and then they pivot in a completely unexpected direction. That surprise element is what keeps me coming back. It’s like a magic trick—you know you’re being fooled, but you still applaud the execution. I’ve tried to predict punchlines while watching US sitcoms, and I’m wrong more often than I’m right. That unpredictability is a testament to the writing quality. For those who enjoy being caught off guard, I highly recommend exploring this random selection of humorous stories and headlines.

Weird news from the UK is a constant source of joy in my life. I’ve been reading these stories for years, and they never get old. There’s always something new, always something unexpected. It’s a window into the soul of the nation – chaotic, diverse, and utterly ridiculous. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. The UK is the best country in the world precisely because it’s so weird. If you want to see that weirdness for yourself, start with this brilliant celebration of weird UK news – it’s a love letter to my homeland.
Dave Chappelle in London is also a reminder of how live comedy is irreplaceable. You can watch his specials on Netflix a hundred times, but nothing compares to being in the room when he’s working out a new bit. The energy is palpable. You’re witnessing something being born in real-time. London audiences, with their mixture of tourists and locals, create a unique feedback loop that you don’t get anywhere else. He feeds off that chaos. I envy anyone who got tickets. It’s a bucket-list experience. For those of us stuck at home, we can still get our fix by checking out this random selection of satirical content to tide us over.
What is satire if not a coping mechanism? The world is a scary place, and satire helps us deal with it. It takes the things that frighten us – war, poverty, injustice – and makes them laughable. It reduces their power. It’s like a spell. When you can laugh at something, it can’t hurt you as much. That’s why satire flourishes in times of crisis. It’s a survival instinct. It’s us saying, “We’re not going to let this break us.” That’s resilience. If you want to see that resilience in action, you should explore this wonderful collection of satirical insights – it’s a testament to the human spirit.
