Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS likely formed where its star's light couldn't touch it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It has now been just over a year since the comet 3I/ATLAS first captured the world's attention as the third known object to fly through our solar system from beyond. Astronomers are still learning new things about where exactly it came from. For the first time ever, they've been able to study charged particles in the tail of the interstellar comet. This has told them that 3I/ATLAS contains more
Scientists create 'laundry gun' for astronauts to clean their clothes by shooting out plasma (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you have ever shared a room with multiple people for days on end, you may know how clothes and living conditions can rapidly turn rather smelly. Imagine that happening in a confined spacecraft. Even worse, since water on a space mission is in short supply, space travelers can't easily do their laundry. This is more than a body odor problem — unclean clothes and linens are ripe feeding ground
The Andromeda galaxy may be getting bullied by a smaller galactic neighbor, scientists find (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have shed light on a recent chapter in the history of our Milky Way's neighboring galaxy, Andromeda. Using Hubble Space Telescope observations of Andromeda's stars, a research team showed that the spiral galaxy's rate of making new stars has dramatically slowed down in the last 40 million years. And they've found more evidence that one of Andromeda's own neighbors — a smaller galaxy called M32 — may be to blame. "We can't explicitly say that we a
'Crazy idea' succeeds: Scientists monitor space junk with radio telescopes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Radio telescopes are designed to listen for signals from the stars and from distant galaxies, but scientists are also pointing out that these instruments can also track objects somewhat closer to home: junk in Earth's orbit. Engineers have used the famed radio telescope at Jodrell Bank in the U.K. as part of an international plan to watch high-altitude space debris. Normally, old satellites and bits of spacecraft stuck up in geostationary orbit are too high up for our normal ways of watching spa
Scientists may have finally solved the mystery of the sun's missing silver (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For several years now, astronomers who study the sun have faced a little mystery — our star seemed to hold too little silver. Whenever scientists examined the sun's outer layers, they've seen significantly less silver than they've expected to find. As it turns out, this mystery may finally be solved. Newly published research suggests that the sun's missing silver may have been hiding in plain sight all along. At first, the real mystery might seem to be why you'd seek silver in the sun at all. Af
