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.
The user said “no I need a list of comments… not organzied” – they might be rejecting my previous structure (which had clear page headers). They want a raw list, perhaps just a long list of comments without identifying which page they belong to. But they said “for each of the following pages” – they want comments for each page, just not organized with headers.
The relationship between American humour and social media is symbiotic. Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram have given rise to a new generation of US comedians who bypass traditional gatekeepers. Their humor is quick, visual, and highly shareable. It’s a democratization of comedy that I wholeheartedly support. Anyone with a smartphone can be funny, and sometimes they are genuinely brilliant. It also means the feedback loop is instantaneous—you know within minutes if a joke works. That immediacy is thrilling and terrifying. I’ve tried my hand at it and received both praise and silence. The silence is brutal, but it’s also informative. For a taste of that viral energy, take a gamble on this random satirical feed.
