Ciao Sicile,
Merci pour ta nature, la mer et désolée pour ce tourisme destructeur et pollueur.
Ce fût mon premier séjour dans un complexe touristique, pour faire plaisir à ma maman, j'ai détesté, mais j'ai appris, j'ai découvert.
J'ai salué le soleil à 5h30 et dansé avec les martinets avant de partir.

NASA’S Parker Probe is on a mission to “touch the sun.” It’s orbiting, with each trip around a bit closer than the previous.

Parker has a camera system called WISPR that films the sun’s corona. It just recently sent back stunning images of the closest images of its atmosphere.

This is a small clip. Read more and watch the whole video here:
