NEW YORK (AP) — Two bright green comets are streaming through the skies and are visible to skygazers in the Northern Hemisphere. Both hail from the outer edges of our solar system — possibly what’s known as the Oort Cloud, well beyond Pluto. Comet Lemmon will have its closest brush with Earth on or around Tuesday. The other cosmic snowball, …

This year is a boom time for comets. Not only did we have the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS gracing our skies (and Mars’) earlier this year, but now we have another brand new comet to look out for. Expected to be at its brightest on October 21, this month you might have the chance to spot the comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) …

It’s time again for social media silliness with the Tweets of the Week featuring random delights with a focus on the three B’s: bods, beasts, and buffoonery. Oh, some of these might not be from this week nor be tweets. Enjoy it anyway. Starting with the wholesome shoey from Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and Grayson Waller. The friendship between Rhea …

One to two Starlink satellites plummet through Earth’s atmosphere daily in 2025, burning up like expensive shooting stars nobody asked for. Your internet connectivity dreams are literally raining down on you, and this is just the beginning of what happens when tech billionaires treat orbital space like prime real estate in a gold rush. SpaceX’s Satellite Assembly Line SpaceX has …

The meteor streaked across the night sky around 8:09 p.m., glowing brightly enough to turn heads in at least 13 states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, …

Two greenish-hued comets are swinging through the inner solar system this fall, offering a rare chance to spot them in the coming weeks. The comets, named C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) and C/2025 R2 (SWAN), are visible from the Northern Hemisphere now as their orbits take them through our cosmic backyard on their journey around the sun. Two comet appearances in the …

The past month has seen Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) brightening rapidly ahead of its close approach to the sun, leading to growing excitement that it could shine brightly enough to be seen by the naked eye in mid-late October. Solar system comets tend to become increasingly active and bright in the weeks and months leading up to perihelion — their …

If the next few nights are going to be clear enough for us to get some frost, then the lack of cloud cover means we should all have a good shot at seeing the first of two meteor showers that will be zipping across the sky this month. October is the prime month for the Draconids – and later in …

Yesterday we featured $200 price drops sweeping across the entire M4 MacBook Air lineup. Those deals, including all colors on both the 13- and 15-inch models are still live for day 2 of the Prime Big Deal Days sale, but Amazon just dropped the 15-inch Sky Blue model even lower to deliver some of the best prices to date at …
