WASHINGTON:

Launched in August 2018, the spaceship is on a seven-year mission to deepen scientific understanding of our star and help forecast space-weather events that can affect life on Earth.

Tuesday's historic fly-by should have occurred at precisely 6.53 a.m. (5.23 p.m. IST), although mission scientists will have to wait until Friday for confirmation as they lose contact with the craft for several days due to its proximity to the Sun.

Varun Dhawan carries this headless chicken of an action-thriller

If you think about it, all action films follow the same template—a wronged man/righteous cop gets into a tussle with someone powerful. His entire world is turned upside down, and he seeks revenge.
