The not so future news is here touching the sun. The Parker Solar Probe will reach speeds up to 430,000 mph, making it the fastest-ever human-made object.
Parker will be able to withstand the sun's intense heat, thanks to a heat shield made of carbon composite foam and plates. Instruments will occupy both the front and the back of the spacecraft enabling complete imaging of the sky.
Many of its instruments use alloys with high melting points, and the probe also has an effective cooling system that can keep its arrays, instruments, and mechanisms cool and functional.
Parker #SolarProbe's FIELDS instrument suite measures (no surprise) electric and magnetic fields! 〰☀️ This information, direct from the Sun's corona, will help scientists understand the forces at work in this dynamic region.
Parker #SolarProbe's SWEAP instrument suite will study the most common particles in the solar wind — electrons, protons and helium ions — to shed new light on the solar wind. Meet the rest of the mission's instruments: https://go.nasa.gov/2OfU7gx. the solar wind is the exiting gases that have enough speed to escape the gravitational forces of the sun.
Computations show that a material made with just the right amounts of hafnium, nitrogen, and carbon would have a melting point of more than 4400 K (7460°F). That's about two-thirds the temperature at the surface of the sun and 200 K higher than the highest melting point ever recorded experimentally.

The not so future
Global warming being blamed for change in Jet Stream leading to severe weather systems creating dangerous fiery conditions.
The not so future news...Brandon Spillman and Alexander Daniel, along with Marksville Police officer Kenneth Parnell, tried to force Frank from his tractor. Spillman, Daniel and Parnell are named defendants in a civil rights lawsuit. There were other law enforcement personnel on the scene, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Fires rage through California, Mendocino.
Mendocino fire becomes biggest in modern California history as weary firefighters brace for more
Reaching 283,000 acres in just 11 days, the combination of the Ranch and River fires is now the largest recorded in California. As fatigue sets in for firefighters, their battle continues.

Canada’s new radio telescope just picked up a strange signal from deep space
Its origin is thought to be a galaxy situated some 3 billion light-years from Earth, and the power it would take for a radio signal to make it that far makes it believable that it could be from an advanced civilization or an extreme radio source.
Apple Is Paying Almost No Taxes On The $102 Billion It Has Stashed Offshore: Report
Apple Successfully Avoids $50 Billion in American Taxes.
According to Apple's announcement, it'll pay a one time tax of $38 billion. ... Apple doesn't have to pay that bill all at once. But it's clear the company sees the one-time 15.5 percent tax on all of a company's overseas holdings that is included in the new tax bill as a great deal.Jan 18, 2018

Instead of Solar in the not so future we have...U.S. refineries running at near-record levels
U.S. refineries running at near-record levels
For the week ending July 6, 2018, the four-week average of U.S. gross refinery inputs surpassed 18 million barrels per day (b/d) for the first time since the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) began publishing that data series in 1990. U.S. refineries are running at record levels in response to robust domestic and international demand for motor gasoline and distillate fuel oil
