There’s a probe into the sun being launched soon. They’re covering it on bbc breakfast. There’s been a delay though.

HahaReminds me of the old joke...
"Today the Irish Space Agency announced its intention to send a probe to the Sun. When questioned as whether they were concerned that the Probe might be burned up, an official replied"
"We have thought of that, It will be fine"
"We are launching it at night"

Getting to Venus in 6 weeks seems awful quick

The discovery was made using the Japanese Subaru 8-metre telescope located on the dormant Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii. The telescope is the only one in the world to be able to produce deep images capable of probing the outer reaches of the solar system, while also having a wide enough field of view to be able to image enough sky to discover rare objects. “With other large telescopes, it is like looking through a straw and thus they are good for observing things you know are there, but not for finding new things as their field of views are too small for covering large areas of sky,” said Sheppard.
The team will begin a new run of observations in November, with the hope of finding more objects, possibly including the elusive Planet Nine.
