Researchers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to observe 3I/ATLAS on Aug. 6. (Image credit: NASA/James Webb Space Telescope) Astronomers have found something strange in the James Webb Space Telescope‘s first images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it hurtles toward our sun, according to a new study.

Aug. 27 (UPI) — NASA observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. On Aug. 6, the telescope with its near-infrared Spectrograph instrument analyzed the comet as it provided more information about its size, physical properties, and chemical makeup. This kind of observation can help make clear what conditions were like …

Then there’s the way the game stresses a number of early dialogue choices, telling you how your fellow agents will remember when you choose to treat them with eager support or stern rebuke at key moments. Without getting too much into early game spoilers, I’ll say that the medium-term consequences of these kinds of decisions are not always obvious; concerned …

“We were interested in looking at the more durable systems,” Camarda told Ars. “The first thing I ever tested was actually an all-metallic shuttle wing leading edge, and it used heat pipes, and it was built by McDonnell Douglas. It was a competitor with the reinforced carbon-carbon, the passive leading edge system.” Ultimately, NASA went with the reinforced carbon-carbon heat …

As you can probably imagine, we get tips on a lot of really interesting projects here at Hackaday. Most are pretty serious, at least insofar as they aim to solve a specific problem in some new and clever way. Some, though, are a little more lighthearted, such as a fun project that came across the tips line back in May. …
