Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Shrouded in CO₂ Fog – NASA’s SPHEREx Reveals a Cosmic Visitor’s Secrets

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Shrouded in CO₂ Fog – NASA’s SPHEREx Reveals a Cosmic Visitor’s Secrets

3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS) was discovered July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile and is on a hyperbolic, unbound path with eccentricity ~6.2, making it the third confirmed interstellar object after 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Early estimates suggested a diameter of several kilometers, and Hubble data later indicated a nucleus of about 5–6 km across, making 3I/ATLAS the…

Mars’ Core Revealed, “Pristine” Galaxy Spotted, Alzheimer’s Test Hope, and a Quantum Leap – Science News Roundup (Sept 4–5, 2025)

Mars’ Core Revealed, “Pristine” Galaxy Spotted, Alzheimer’s Test Hope, and a Quantum Leap – Science News Roundup (Sept 4–5, 2025)

Space & Astronomy Marsquakes Confirm Mars Has a Solid Metal Core Seismic readings from NASA’s InSight Mars lander have revealed that Mars possesses a solid inner core, much like Earth’s. A Chinese-led team analyzed faint marsquake waves and found Mars’ inner core extends ~613 km (~380 mi) from the center, likely made of iron and nickel, surrounded by a molten outer core…

  • Record Retail Bets on Silver Rally and Crash Drive Market Frenzy
    January 27, 2026, 2:41 PM EST. Retail investors have pushed the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) ETF to a record $171 million net inflow in one day, nearly doubling the 2021 silver squeeze peak. Silver surged nearly 6% on Monday, up more than 52% in 2026 alone, surpassing tech stocks like Nvidia as retail traders' hottest investment. Vanda analyst Ashwin Bhakre called silver the new epicenter of retail fervor, with trading volumes 11.55 times normal. Coeur Mining and Hecla Mining shares jumped roughly 40%. However, leveraged bets on silver crashing also spiked sharply, indicating a "two-front war" among investors. Some experts label the rapid moves as "meme stock trade" behavior, suggesting caution amid the volatility in this precious metals rally.
