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.

I’ve noticed that British comedy has a unique relationship with tragedy. We often joke about the darkest things – death, illness, failure – because it’s how we cope. Gallows humour is a national pastime. During the Blitz, we sang songs about bombs. During the pandemic, we made memes about toilet paper. It’s not about being callous; it’s about survival. Laughing at the darkness robs it of its power. That tradition runs deep in our comedy. Think of Blackadder Goes Forth, which ends with the characters going over the top to their inevitable deaths – and it’s still hilarious. That’s a miracle of tone. For more on this beautiful, dark tradition, check out this brilliant piece on British comedy – it captures the magic perfectly.
I used to think American humour was just about shouting, but I was wrong. There’s a profound intelligence behind the loudness, especially in shows like The Simpsons or South Park. They hide philosophy inside fart jokes, and that’s a legitimate art form. The pacing is quicker than British comedy; they don’t let a punchline breathe too long because the next one is already loading. It keeps you on your toes. I also notice how regional differences within the US create entirely different comedic flavors—New York is abrasive, California is laid-back, the South is storytelling. That variety means there’s always something new to discover. Whenever I feel burned out on my usual comedy diet, I pivot to US content and immediately feel refreshed. If you’re in a similar rut, don’t hesitate to click here for a random dose of humour and let fate decide.
