NASA’s insane plan to ‘touch the sun’ is actually happening

NASA's insane plan to 'touch the sun' is actually happening

NASA has a whole bunch of fancy hardware checking out several of the planets in our solar system, including Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, but astronomers do most of their observations of our sun from here on Earth, or at least nearby. A new mission is going to change that in a big way, and NASA is set to reveal details regarding its immediate plans to fly a spacecraft directly into the star's atmosphere shortly.

The agency is scheduled to hold a news conference on Wednesday, May 31st, to formally announce detailed plans about the launch of a solar probe that will fly closer to our star than any manmade spacecraft has ever dared venture. Scientists working on the project will provide additional information about the mission, which was first proposed over a half century ago.

http://media.zenfs.com/en_US/News/BGR_News/spp_leavingearth.jpg?itok=iISVWtQr

The mission, which will last roughly seven years, is scheduled to begin in mid 2018, though more details about that may soon be disclosed. During its tripe, the probe will made repeated flybys of the the sun, passing through the orbits of Mercury and Venus numerous times as it gradually flies closer and closer to our star each time. Eventually, the craft will come within four million miles of the sun, traveling at nearly half a million miles per hour, and its carbon composite heat shield will be forced to withstand temperatures of over 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. That's enough to melt steel, and just shy of the melting point of iron.

The press conference is scheduled for 11:00 AM EST, and will be streamed live via NASA's video page.

Oilist

Normally $2.99.

Give Oilist an image and it will automatically generate a genuine and unique work of art based on it. Painted for you in real time! Participate or spectate, it's up to you, Oilist will delight!

Oilist comes with 18 infinitely customizable styles; from impressionist to abstract.

Oilist is not a photo filter. Unlike most filter apps, Oilist will never generate the same results twice, and is capable of creating from impressionistic to abstract artwork based on the user's photos. Instead of applying a fixed formula to an image as photo filters typically do, Oilist analyzes the supplied image using computer vision technology, then paints simulated paint particles that are applied using various brush strokes and techniques.

At anytime during the painting process, 4k resolution images may be captured as often as desired.

When Oilist is painting, styles may be infinitely customized by selecting from 12 different painting moods, choosing from 15 different brushes, setting brush options such as the size and spacing, and by injecting imperfections with the exciting Chaos tool. The gravity of the paint can be controlled by tilting the device and the brush angles may be controlled by yawing (rotating) the device. To rapidly change settings, it is possible to pause the painting by tapping in the paint area, make any desired changes, the tap in the painting area again to unpause the painting.

New and interesting results may be obtained by alternating settings with new settings painted on top of the previous settings. For instance, first paint a layer using the Warm mood followed by a layer using the Cool mood. The use of large brushes tend to create more abstract artwork and smaller brushes work best for high definition detail.

Oilist will automatically provide smaller brush strokes and greater photo-realism to detected faces. This can optionally be disabled by opening the Settings app, tapping on Oilist and disabling face detection.
