In an audacious endeavour that’s nothing short of cosmic daring, NASA is preparing for a mission that aims to “touch the Sun.”

The space agency is gearing up to unravel the mysteries of our nearest star, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. This extraordinary mission, named the Parker Solar Probe, is poised to get closer to the Sun than any spacecraft in history.

The Parker Solar Probe, named after the renowned solar astrophysicist Dr. Eugene Parker, is on a relentless quest to skim the outermost layers of the Sun’s scorching atmosphere.

It is a feat of engineering brilliance, designed to withstand temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit while delivering vital data to scientists back on Earth.

By diving into the Sun’s corona, this probe promises to provide us with invaluable insights into solar wind, space weather, and the Sun’s enigmatic behaviour.

But what exactly drives NASA to embark on such an audacious voyage?

What are the scientific objectives behind this daring mission? How does the Parker Solar Probe manage to survive in the extreme conditions near the Sun?

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
