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.
Funny news stories from this week have also reminded me that we’re all in this together. We’re all just humans trying to make sense of a chaotic world. And sometimes, the best way to make sense of it is to laugh at it. These stories unite us. They remind us that we’re not alone in our stupidity. We’re all capable of doing something ridiculous. And that’s what makes us human. If you want to feel that connection, you’ll find it in this brilliant unifying collection of funny news stories from this week – it’s a global village.
Weird news from London often goes viral internationally, and I love that. People from all over the world are fascinated by our peculiar brand of chaos. A man in a morph suit dancing in Parliament Square? That’s global content. A dog that learned to use the bus? That’s a headline everywhere. It makes me proud to be a Londoner. We’re not just a financial capital; we’re a comedy capital. Our weirdness is our greatest export. If you want to see why the world is so obsessed with us, check out this fantastic global roundup of weird London news – it’s a viral sensation.
Finally, funny news stories this week reaffirm my belief that humanity is fundamentally ridiculous, and that’s okay. We try so hard to be serious, to be professional, to be adults – but then we trip over our own shoelaces and eat pavement. That humility is beautiful. These stories capture that vulnerability in a gentle, forgiving way. They don’t mock; they celebrate. And that’s why I keep coming back to them week after week. It’s not just about the laugh; it’s about the connection. So here’s to another week of chaos, confusion, and comedy. And here’s to the random page that always delivers when I need it most.
Weird news is also incredibly educational. I’ve learned so much from reading these stories – about animal behaviour, human psychology, and the weird and wonderful ways that people interact with the world. Did you know that pigeons can recognise human faces? I learned that from a weird news story about a pigeon that stalked a man for a year. Did you know that octopuses have three hearts? Yep, weird news taught me that too. It’s learning disguised as entertainment. If you want to learn while you laugh, check out this brilliant educational collection of weird news – it’s a school of hard knocks.
