Astronomers detect first 'radio signal' from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS — but it wasn't aliens
Astronomers at South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope have detected the first radio waves coming from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. But while this sounds suspiciously like alien activity, it is actually further proof of its completely natural origins.
No, comet 3I/ATLAS hasn't exploded — and no, that doesn't mean it's an alien spaceship
Comet 3I/ATLAS appears to be normal and intact, despite some reports that the interstellar visitor exploded after its brush with the sun.
This week's Leonid meteor shower could be one of the best in years. Here's why.
The Leonids peak overnight Nov. 16-17, offering up to 15 meteors per hour under dark, moonless skies.
New 'nearly interstellar' comet — wrongly linked to 3I/ATLAS — will reach its closest point to Earth on Tuesday (Nov. 11)
Newly discovered comet C/2025 V1 (Borisov), which has some minor similarities to 3I/ATLAS, will make its closest approach to Earth on Tuesday (Nov. 11). However, despite recent rumors, the two objects are not related to one another.
'Colder and deader from now on': Euclid telescope confirms the universe has already peaked in star formation
Astronomers using data from ESA's Euclid and Herschel space telescopes have confirmed that star formation has already peaked in the cosmos, and that the universe is bound to get steadily 'colder and deader' from here on.
Unprecedented view of the Milky Way took 40,000 hours to construct — Space photo of the week
Created using data from two extensive surveys, this spectacular radio image of the galactic plane of the Milky Way provides valuable insights into the birth and death of stars.
Irradiated Comet 3I/ATLAS glows green and hides its tail in new image
A researcher has captured comet 3I/ATLAS glowing green and hiding its tail in a new image from the Lowell Observatory's powerful Discovery Telescope as we enter a critical observation phase for the interstellar visitor.
'Unlike any we've ever seen': Record-breaking black hole eruption is brighter than 10 trillion suns
Astronomers spotted a flaring black hole that may be consuming a star at least 30 times more massive than the sun. At its peak, the flare was brighter than 10 trillion stars.
