NASA spacecraft ‘touches’ the Sun for the first time ever

The Parker Solar Probe launched by NASA became the first spacecraft to fly over the outer atmosphere of the sun. NASA said on Tuesday that the spacecraft flew over the “corona” of the sun’s upper atmosphere, where it sampled magnetic fields and particles.
Scientists said that the Parker Solar Probe achieved this feat on April 28, but they announced it after analyzing the data and confirming it.

“The Parker Solar Probe’s “contact with the sun” is a milestone in solar science and a truly remarkable feat,” said Thomas Zubchen, deputy director of NASA’s Washington Headquarters Science Mission Council.

NASA said in a statement that this achievement will help scientists discover key information about the sun and its impact on the solar system.

The probe is now hovering closer to the surface of the sun and is spotted along the way. The Parker probe was launched in 2018 to pass through the repetitive and getting closer sun. The spacecraft is moving at an alarming speed of over 500,000 km/h and can enter and leave quickly to avoid thermal damage. To the sun. After the probe moved closer to the surface of the sun, scientists were able to determine that the reentry originated from the surface of the sun.

Nasa’s old map of Jupiter, which reminds many of dosa, has gone viral once more

Certain images or videos frequently resurface on the Internet, leaving people speechless. When those clips or pictures are shared again on one social media platform or another, they create a buzz. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) created and posted this image of a map of Jupiter online a few years ago. After being shared on Twitter, the image drew a lot of attention this time. And, as usual, the image made people think of dosa, a popular South Indian dish.

The image was shared by the Twitter account Latest in Space. “From the very bottom of Jupiter, I’m looking up. While tweeting the image, they wrote, “Seen by NASA Cassini.” The images from the Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera were used to create this out-of-this-world image, which is part of a coloured map series produced by the space agency.

The article was published a few days ago. The tweet has received nearly 20,000 likes since it was shared, and the number is growing. The tweet has been retweeted more than 2,000 times. Take a look at some of the comments to see how the image of Jupiter looks like dosa.

A Twitter user commented, “Looks like a designer dosa.” “When I rush to pick up a call, this is what happens to my dosa on the dosa pan,” one joked. “This is how my mother makes Dosa,” a third said. “Jupiter in the making,” wrote a fourth, along with a photo of someone preparing – you guessed it – dosa.
