Don’t Miss These Skywatch Wonders in October 2025

The Draconid meteor shower peaks around October 8, 2025, but a full Moon on October 6–7 will wash out most meteors, making outbursts of hundreds to thousands per hour unlikely, and its parent comet is 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. The Orionids peak on the nights of October 21–22, 2025, producing about 20 meteors per hour under dark skies from Halley’s Comet debris, with…

Astronomers Spot a 7-Billion-Year-Old Interstellar Comet – Could It Be the Oldest Ever Seen?

Astronomers Spot a 7-Billion-Year-Old Interstellar Comet – Could It Be the Oldest Ever Seen?

On July 1, 2025, the ATLAS telescope in Río Hurtado, Chile, detected 3I/ATLAS near Jupiter’s orbit with a hyperbolic, interstellar trajectory. 3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object identified, following 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Estimates place 3I/ATLAS at 7–10 billion years old if formed in the Milky Way’s thick disk, making it possibly the oldest comet we’ve seen.…

Meet “Ammonite” – Fossil World at Solar System’s Edge Challenges Planet Nine Theory

Meet “Ammonite” – Fossil World at Solar System’s Edge Challenges Planet Nine Theory

Ammonite is the informal name for the trans-Neptunian object 2023 KQ14, discovered by the FOSSIL survey with Subaru’s 8.2-meter telescope in early 2023. Follow-up observations in July 2024 with the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope and archival data from 2005 extended its observational arc to 19 years. Ammonite is a sednoid, a distant trans-Neptunian object with a highly eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.74)…

Konstantinos Migkas and team mapped a 23-million-light-year cosmic web filament with temperatures around 10 million degrees, more than 20 times the Milky Way’s size, detected via the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect and Planck data. Durham University simulations predict 80–100 undetected Milky Way satellite galaxies, the so‑called orphan galaxies stripped of dark matter halos, potentially solving the missing satellites problem and bolstering the…

  • LSE Plans to Ease Public Holding Rules for Overseas Companies in FTSE Indexes
    January 27, 2026, 9:13 AM EST. The London Stock Exchange Group (LSE) announced plans to relax rules requiring the minimum number of shares held by the public for overseas companies to join key indexes like the FTSE 100. This move aims to attract more international firms to British benchmark indexes, potentially boosting market diversity and liquidity. Currently, strict rules limit index inclusion, but easing these could open doors for more foreign businesses. The LSE's strategy reflects growing competition among global stock markets to attract listings and expand investor options. Observers note this could reshape dynamics in London's equity markets amid shifting global investment trends.
