A rocky visitor from beyond our solar system is leaking water like a “fire hose running at full blast,” a new study reports. Using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, scientists have for the first time detected the chemical fingerprint of water spilling from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third known object from another star system ever observed passing through our …

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS began blasting water “like a fire hose” before it was anywhere near the sun, according to a recent study. Researchers observed the comet scattering water unusually early in a discovery that sheds light on how the building blocks of life are distributed across other planetary systems. Initial James Webb Space Telescope observations have suggested that 3I/ATLAS …

The Sun has a weather pattern of its own, and one of the strangest features is the solar rain that falls in its atmosphere during flares. However, it’s not water that rains down; it’s plasma. This state of matter is a gas so hot that atoms have lost electrons, causing them to cool into clumps that tumble back toward the …

The shock to his system lasted a minute or two until he was “recombobulated and able to think about something other than the cold,” Harper says. A surprise sensation soon …

Reanalyzing old data with our modern understanding seems to be in vogue lately. However, the implications of that reanalysis for some topics are more impactful than others. One of the most hotly debated topics of late in the astrobiological community has been whether or not life can exist on Venus – specifically in its cloud layers, some of which have …

It was a sunny, warm day in Southwest Florida last month when an unsuspecting paddleboarder suddenly made a frightening discovery. She spotted a ball of feathers floating in the water from afar, and as she paddled closer, she realized it was a wild bird in desperate need of help. “The osprey was entangled in fishing line, and her feathers were …
