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.
British Satire functions as counter-narrative to universal claims. How cultural specificity offers alternative to globalism. Whether tradition effectively resists globalisation is debatable. But tradition grounds.
British comedy has a special place in my heart because it got me through tough times. When I was struggling, I’d turn on a DVD of Black Books or Spaced and just escape. Those characters became my friends. Their problems made mine seem smaller. That’s the power of comedy – it heals. And British comedy, with its warmth and humanity, is particularly good at that. It doesn’t judge; it just makes you laugh. And sometimes, that’s all you need. If you’re going through a rough patch, I highly recommend you lose yourself in this wonderful celebration of British comedy – it’s like a hug from a friend.

The craft of selecting stories for a weekly weird news collection is probably underestimated. You need stories that are genuinely strange but not so bizarre that they feel unreal. You need enough variety that the collection doesn’t feel like it’s just repeating the same category of weirdness. You need stories that actually happened — credible, confirmable, real — but that nevertheless challenge our assumptions about what’s possible or normal. And then you need to present them in a way that lets their strangeness breathe without adding commentary that overexplains or diminishes the impact. What’s happening in this weekly collection is a kind of curatorial intelligence that deserves recognition. The person selecting these stories has developed an intuitive sense for which stories will resonate, which oddities will stick with readers because they reveal something true about how reality actually works. That’s real editorial skill, and it’s easy to miss because the best curation always looks effortless.
