THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Nikki Valentine*MANDATORY CREDIT* HALIFAX — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating after sparks and flames shot from under the wing of a plane that landed hard in Halifax. Nikki Valentine, a Halifax woman who was on the plane, said passengers felt a "massive rumble" upon landing at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport Saturday night. "The cabin tilted, we saw sparks and then flames and then smoke started getting sucked into the cabin," she told The Canadian Press in a direct message over social media. Airport spokesperson Tiffany Chase said Saturday an Air Canada Express flight operated by the regional carrier PAL Airlines, arriving from St. John’s, N.L., experienced an incident upon landing at approximately 9:30 p.m. Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick said late Saturday that the plane experienced a "suspected landing gear issue" after arrival and was unable to reach the terminal. Fitzpatrick said the crew and 73 passengers were off-loaded by bus and nobody on board was injured. A Nova Scotia RCMP spokesperson said on Saturday that some minor injuries were reported, but clarified Sunday that in fact no one was injured. Valentine said she is "especially thankful the pilot was able to get ahold of the situation very fast." The incident temporarily halted flight activity at the airport. As of Sunday afternoon, Valentine and other passengers were still without the bags they were instructed to leave on the plane. Valentine said she contacted Air Canada, who told her that it could be up to three more days before their bags are returned as the investigation into the incident continues. "A lot of people have things like house keys or wallets they needed and couldn't get," she said. "It's all proper procedure, and I'd rather the inconvenience (of missing bags) than if anything bad had happened, of course, but it's still tough."

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia.Former President Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100 as confirmed by his family to the media on Sunday afternoon. "My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love," James Carter, who went by the name "Chip," said in a statement released Sunday. "My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs." "The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs," chip said. Carter has the distinction of being the longest-lived U.S. president, followed by President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died in 2018 at the age of 94. Carter, who held office between 1977 and 1981, is survived by his sons John William, James Earl and Donnel Jeffrey; his daughter, Amy; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren. His wife, Rosalynn Carter, died at the age of 99 last year following a months-long stay hospice care . John William "Jack" Carter The former president's eldest child, John William Carter, 75, was born in Portsmouth, Virginia. Following his father's suggestion, John Carter served in the U.S. Navy, and did so during the Vietnam War. He built a career in investing and finance. He is a businessman who won the Democratic nomination for a Senate seat representing Nevada, but lost to the Republican incumbent in 2006. His Senate platform included opposition to the Iraq War and pushing for health care to better cover veterans. John Carter is married to Elizabeth Brasfield. He has two children, Jason and Sarah, from a previous marriage and two stepchildren, John and Sarah. James Earl "Chip" Carter III President Carter's second eldest child, James Earl Carter III, 72, was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He also has a daughter, Margaret. He was involved with the Democratic National Committee and worked in business, but little is known about him besides that. His son, James Carter IV, helped uncover a video that damaged Republican nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential election. Then-incumbent President Barack Obama personally thanked James Carter IV for helping find the video. Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff" Carter The former president's third child, Donnel Carter, 70, was born in New London, Connecticut. He co-founded the computer-mapping firm Computer Mapping Consultants that did work for World Bank in 1978 as well as some foreign governments until it went out of business. Donnel Carter has three sons. Amy Lynn Carter President Carter's youngest child, Amy Carter, 55, was born in Plains, Georgia. She has one son, Hugo. She began living in the White House at the age of nine and was the first young child to move in since the early 1960s when John F. Kennedy was president. Amy Carter was a political activist who participated in sit-ins in the 1980s and 1990s and was arrested at a protest against CIA recruitment at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1986. Amy Carter later worked with her father on the book The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer about a boy who becomes friends with a monster. Jimmy Carter wrote the book while Amy illustrated it.

In August 2018, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (PSP) began its long journey to study the Sun’s outer corona. After several gravity-assist maneuvers with Venus, the probe broke Helios 2 ‘s distance record and became the closest object to the Sun on October 29th, 2018 . Since then, the Parker probe’s highly elliptical orbit has allowed it to pass through the Sun’s corona several times (“touch the Sun”). On December 24th, 2024 , NASA confirmed that their probe made its closest approach to the Sun, passing just 6 million km (3.8 million mi) above the surface – roughly 0.04 times the distance between the Sun and Earth (0.04 AU). In addition to breaking its previous distance record , the PSP passed through the solar atmosphere at a velocity of about 692,000 km/h (430,000 mph). This is equivalent to about 0.064% the speed of light, making the Parker Solar Probe the fastest human-made object ever. After the spacecraft made its latest pass, it sent a beacon tone to confirm that it made it through safely and was operating normally – which was received on December 26th. These close passes allow the PSP to conduct science operations that will expand our knowledge of the origin and evolution of solar wind. Every flyby the probe made with Venus in the past six years brought it closer to the Sun in its elliptical orbit. As of November 6th, 2024 , the spacecraft reached an optimal orbit that brings it close enough to study the Sun and the processes that influence space weather but not so close that the Sun’s heat and radiation will damage it. To ensure the spacecraft can withstand temperatures in the corona, the Parker probe relies on a carbon foam shield that can withstand temperatures between 980 and 1425 ° C (1,800 and 2,600 degrees ° F). This shield also keeps the spacecraft instruments shaded and at room temperature to ensure they can operate in the solar atmosphere. Said Associate Administrator Nicky Fox, who leads the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) at NASA Headquarters in Washington, in a recent NASA press release : “Flying this close to the Sun is a historic moment in humanity’s first mission to a star. By studying the Sun up close, we can better understand its impacts throughout our solar system, including on the technology we use daily on Earth and in space, as well as learn about the workings of stars across the universe to aid in our search for habitable worlds beyond our home planet.” Nour Rawafi, the project scientist for the Parker Solar Probe at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), is part of the team that designed, built, and operates the spacecraft. “[The] Parker Solar Probe is braving one of the most extreme environments in space and exceeding all expectations,” he said . “This mission is ushering a new golden era of space exploration, bringing us closer than ever to unlocking the Sun’s deepest and most enduring mysteries.” The Parker Solar Probe was first proposed in a 1958 report by the National Academy of Sciences’ Space Science Board , which recommended “a solar probe to pass inside the orbit of Mercury to study the particles and fields in the vicinity of the Sun.” While the concept was proposed again in the 1970s and 1980s, it would take several more decades for the technology and a cost-effective mission to be realized. The Parker Solar Probe also made several interesting and unexpected finds during previous close passes. During its first pass into the solar atmosphere in 2021 , the spacecraft discovered that the outer boundary of the corona is characterized by spikes and valleys, contrary to expectations. It also discovered the origin of switchbacks (zig-zag structures) in the solar wind within the photosphere. Since then, the spacecraft has spent more time in the corona, closely examining most of the Sun’s critical processes. The probe’s discoveries are not limited to the Sun either. As noted, one of the PSP’s primary objectives is to study how solar activity influences “space weather,” referring to the interaction of solar wind with the planets of the Solar System. For instance, the probe has captured multiple images of Venus during its many gravity assists, documented the planet’s radio emissions, and the first complete image of Venus’ orbital dust ring. The probe has also been repeatedly blasted by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that swept up dust as they passed through the Solar System. “We now understand the solar wind and its acceleration away from the Sun,” said Adam Szabo, the Parker Solar Probe mission scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “This close approach will give us more data to understand how it’s accelerated closer in.” The probe even offered a new perspective on the comet NEOWISE by capturing images from its unique vantage point. Now that the mission team knows the probe is safe, they are waiting for it to reach a location where it can transmit the data collected from its latest solar pass. “The data that will come down from the spacecraft will be fresh information about a place that we, as humanity, have never been,” said Joe Westlake, the director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters. “It’s an amazing accomplishment.” The spacecraft’s next solar passes are planned for March 22nd, 2025, and June 19th, 2025.
