Hubble Snaps Spooky Photos of Mysterious Interstellar Object Headed Toward Earth

Hubble Snaps Spooky Photos of Mysterious Interstellar Object Headed Toward Earth

The Hubble Space Telescope has snapped some spooky looking photos of our solar system’s newest interstellar invader on the run. The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted careening through the outer limits of the Sun’s domain earlier this month, and appears to be a comet. Upon closer inspection, its speed was found to be so incredible that there could be …

Strange New Object Found In Solar System ‘Dancing’ With Neptune

Topline Astronomers surveying the outer solar system have revealed that a rare object far beyond Neptune is moving in sync with the eighth planet in an unexpected way. Called 2020 VN40 and first discovered in 2020, it takes 1,655 Earth-years to orbit the sun. The news comes just weeks after 2023 KQ14 — nicknamed “Ammonite” — was found beyond Neptune …

3I/ATLAS is 7 miles wide — the largest interstellar object ever seen — new photos from Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveal

The alien comet 3I/ATLAS is roughly 7 miles (11.2 kilometers) wide, making it the largest interstellar object ever spotted, according to newly revealed photos from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The detailed images, which were captured before the extrasolar entity was officially discovered, highlight the immense power of the record-breaking telescope and demonstrate how valuable it will be for finding …

Blinking ‘Unicorn’ Discovered in Space a One-of-a-Kind Object : ScienceAlert

Astronomers have spotted a variety of weirdly blinking phenomena out there in the big wide Milky Way through history, but a newly discovered pulsating object truly appears to be one of a kind. Located several thousand light-years away, the object named CHIME J1634+44 is a rare case of a cosmic light that brightens and fades over inexplicably long timescales. A …

Astronomers Identify an Object that Defies Astrophysics

Astronomers Identify an Object that Defies Astrophysics

A team of scientists led by the NSF’s Green Bank Observatory (NSF GBO) recently identified an incredibly rare object known as a Long Period Radio Transient (LPT), designated CHIME J1634+44. These objects are similar to Rotating Radio Transients (RRTs), which are sources of short radio pulses believed to be caused by pulsating neutron stars (pulsars). The difference with LPTs is …

Japan discovers object beyond Pluto, puts Planet 9 in doubt • The Register

Asia In Brief Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory last week announced the discovery of a small body with an orbit beyond Pluto’s, and scientists think its presence means the “Planet 9” theory should be revisited. The Observatory named the body 2023 KQ14 and explained its FOSSIL (Formation of the Outer Solar System: An Icy Legacy) project spotted it during 2023 using …
