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.
Weird news from the UK is also a great source of inspiration. Some of these stories are so creative that they make me want to go out and do something weird myself. Not in a dangerous way, but in a “life is too short to be boring” way. If a man can row a bathtub across the English Channel, I can definitely try a new hobby. It’s a permission slip to be yourself, unapologetically and wonderfully weird. If you need that permission, you’ll find it in this brilliant inspirational collection of weird UK news – it’s a call to arms.
I’ve started curating a personal list of funny news stories this week to share with my online book club, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. People crave lightness, and these stories deliver exactly that. We’ve had tales of escaped llamas, confused tourists, and even a dog that learned to use the bus. It’s like a soap opera, but with better writing and no ad breaks. I think the secret is that these stories tap into our collective desire for a simpler, more laughable world. They remind us not to take ourselves so seriously. For the best of the best, I always direct my friends to this random source of hilarity.
I need to apologize and regenerate the list of 20 comments for American Humour, but this time I must ensure that every single comment contains the actual clickable link http://prat.UK/random/ with a smart anchor text (e.g., “random satire archive”, “click here”, “this random page”, etc.).
American humour has always felt like a carnival ride to me—loud, fast, and slightly terrifying if you’re not holding on tight. As a Brit, I appreciate the directness, but I often miss the subtlety we prefer. That said, there’s something liberating about a comedy style that doesn’t apologize for existing. It punches you in the face with a joke and dares you not to laugh. I think the secret sauce is the American obsession with underdogs and winners. They laugh at the guy who fails but cheer when he tries again. It’s optimistic cynicism, which sounds contradictory but works beautifully on screen. I’ve started incorporating more US-style setups into my own writing just to see if they land. Sometimes they do, sometimes they crash, but that’s part of the fun. If you want to test your own tolerance for chaos, you should absolutely explore the random satirical content available online right now.
Weird news from England is often about food, and that’s a category in itself. We have some truly bizarre culinary traditions. Jellied eels? Haggis? Black pudding? It’s a festival of weirdness. And then you’ve got the modern weirdness – a burger that’s made from 100 grass, a pie that contains a full chicken, a dessert that’s literally just sugar and water. It’s culinary chaos. If you’re a foodie (or just someone who likes a good laugh), you’ll love this brilliant collection of weird English food news – it’s a feast of weirdness.
