Frozen object beyond Jupiter is transforming into a comet
2+ day, 5+ hour ago (1029+ words) A frozen object beyond Jupiter is venting carbon dioxide gas into space, revealing what can drive activity so far from the sun. A centaur, one of the icy bodies that orbit beyond Jupiter, has started venting gas into space, even…...
On the night of May 18–19, 1910, Earth passed through the tail of Halley’s Comet, three months after astronomers detected the poisonous gas cyanogen within it. Sensational reports helped entrepreneurs sell anti-comet pills, mouth inhalers and even comet insurance—but the tail was so extraordinarily diffuse that no harmful effect was detected.
3+ day, 1+ hour ago (787+ words) Halley’s poisonous cyanogen was detectable but harmlessly dilute, while the 1910 tail crossing created a market for pills, leather inhalers and impossible insurance....
ALMA Finds Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Loaded With Methanol
3+ day, 13+ hour ago (137+ words) The ALMA radio telescope in Chile has measured an unusually high methanol content in the coma of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, among the highest ever recorded in any comet. The ratio of methanol to hydrogen cyanide came out at roughly 70 on…...
Asteroid spotted hours before hitting Earth: Here's how scientists knew where it would land
3+ day, 19+ hour ago (505+ words) Thu, Sep 10, 2026 | Rabi al-Awwal 28, 1448 | Fajr 04:45|DXB 34.2°C A tiny asteroid was spotted in space just hours before it entered Earth's atmosphere, giving scientists a rare opportunity to track an incoming object and predict where it would arrive. Named 2026 RW1, the asteroid…...
Near Jupiter's orbit, astronomers catch a frozen silent body slowly awakening into a comet while shedding carbon dioxide gas and growing a halo of crystalline ice for the very first time in recorded science
3+ day, 23+ hour ago (533+ words) Near Jupiter’s orbit, a frozen body is waking up into a comet Three billion miles from Earth, in the cold darkness beyond Jupiter’s orbit, a small icy body that has drifted in near-silence for billions of years is beginning to…...
UK astronomers find: Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS formed in extreme cold
3+ day, 20+ hour ago (454+ words) UK astronomers have uncovered new clues about the origins of 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, finding that the comet likely formed in an exceptionally cold environment far from its parent star. The findings, published in Monthly…...
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Reveals Secrets From A Frozen World Beyond Our Solar System
4+ day, 4+ hour ago (643+ words) Astronomers have uncovered new evidence about the frozen birthplace of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The results indicate that the object likely developed in temperatures below -240°C (-400°F), suggesting a birthplace located in the distant frozen outskirts of another star system. Such…...
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is bursting with methanol
4+ day, 12+ hour ago (262+ words) Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains exceptionally high levels of methanol, suggesting it formed under conditions very different from those that shaped most comets in our solar system. ALMA also revealed that tiny icy grains around the comet are releasing methanol like…...
New study reveals fresh clues about the mysterious origin of comet 3I/ATLAS
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (417+ words) starlust.org New study reveals fresh clues about the mysterious origin of comet 3I/ATLAS Only three interstellar visitors have ever been confirmed passing through our solar system. One of them is 3I/ATLAS, which was first spotted by the ATLAS survey…...
