Nasa's Parker Solar Probe, which launched earlier this year, has set a new record for becoming the closest human-made object to the sun, the US space agency announced Monday.
Over 66,000 hectares (256 square miles) of land have been lost -- roughly the area of Chicago, one of the biggest cities in the US -- to erosion caused by the Padma river since 1967.
