Parker Solar Probe is a NASA robotic space probe heading towards the outer corona of the Sun. It will reach to within 8.86 solar radii (6.2 million kilometers or 3.85 million miles) from the "surface" of the Sun and is currently the fastest spacecraft ever built and will travel, at closest approach, as fast as .

Overview 
It was launched on August 12, 2018. This was the first time a NASA spacecraft was named after a living person, honoring  physicist Eugene Parker.

A memory card having the names of over 1.1 million people was mounted on a plaque and installed below the spacecraft’s high-gain antenna on May 18, 2018.

The card also contains photos of Parker, professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, and a copy of his 1958 scientific paper.
Special Material Technology 
Because of how close the probe will be to the Sun, it will experience very high temperatures. To make sure that the probe is not damaged by the hot environment, engineers had to design a special shield to protect the sensitive components on the probe. The shield is made up of five layers. The outermost layer is a white ceramic layer which reflects away the Sun's rays. By reflecting the rays away, it prevents the shield from heating up too much. The second layer is a barrier layer which connects the ceramic layer to the middle layer. The middle layer is a carbon-carbon sheet which is very light and strong. This helps keep the shield in one piece. The fourth layer is a carbon foam which is very light and does not conduct heat well. This again helps with keeping the temperature low. The fifth and final layer is a second carbon sheet which makes the entire shield rigid enough for spaceflight.
Since the probe was launched from a rocket, it was very important to minimize its weight. If it was too heavy, the rocket would not be able to launch it far enough to complete its mission. Because of the well engineered materials in the shield, the entire shield only weighs 73 kg. That is about the same weight as an average adult human.

Eugene Newman Parker (June 10, 1927 – March 15, 2022) was an American solar astrophysicist. In the mid-1950s—developed the theory of the supersonic solar wind and predicted the Parker spiral shape of the solar magnetic field in the outer solar system. 

In 1987, Parker proposed that the solar corona might be heated by myriad tiny "nanoflares" (similar to solar flares) that would happen all over the surface of the Sun.

Parker spent four years at the University of Utah and has been at the University of Chicago since 1955. Parker was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1967.

In 2017, NASA renamed its Solar Probe Plus to Parker Solar Probe in his honor, marking the first time NASA had named a spacecraft after a living person. 

In 2018, the American Physical Society awarded him the Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research.

Parker died on March 15, 2022 from problems caused by Parkinson's disease at a retirement home in Hyde Park, Chicago, Illinois at the age of 94.

Biography 

Raheem Kassam was born on 1 August 1986 in Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom. His parents were from Tanzania. They were of Gujarati origin. He was raised a Ismaili Muslim, but stopped believing in the faith many years ago. He is now an atheist, and was influenced by Christopher Hitchens.

He studied politics at the University of Westminster in London.

He was a national board member of the Conservative Future youth-movement. He was director of a campus anti-extremism group called Student Rights. He was against the London School of Economics accepting money from Gaddafi's Libya. His idols are Michael Gove, Margaret Thatcher, and Barry Goldwater.
He worked at a Lehman Brothers call center, and later managed electoral campaigns in the UK and United States. He and others tried to create a British-version of the Tea Party movement. He and James Delingpole created Breitbart News London. Kassam left Breitbart in May 2018.

In 2016, he said that Donald Trump would be a better president than Hillary Clinton. Kassam joined Nigel Farage in meeting Trump after the presidential election.

In 2018, he claimed that London had become "a shithole" since the election of Sadiq Khan.

UKIP leadership election
Kassam's campaign slogan was "Make UKIP Great Again." His activity online gave him negative attention. He viciously insulted multiple politicians, including First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, UKIP leadership candidate Suzanne Evans, and Labour MP Angela Eagle. He called the Scottish National Party a "National Socialist party." He later apologised. He called for a referendum on the right of women in the UK to wear the niqāb, claimed that US presidential candidate Donald Trump does not hold anti-Muslim views, and questioned the claims of sexual assault made against Trump.

A uterine fibroid is a tumor that is not cancer. It is a benign tumor. This kind of tumor grows in the muscle of the uterus, or womb. Fibroids often do not grow very large and do not always need to be treated. This kind of tumor often gets smaller after menopause. But sometimes fibroids cause heavy bleeding or pain. In this case, a physician may treat it.
