Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Makes Closest Approach to Earth on December 19, 2025 — How to See It and Why It Matters

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Makes Closest Approach to Earth on December 19, 2025 — How to See It and Why It Matters

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will pass Earth at about 170 million miles on December 19, 2025, nearly twice the distance to the Sun. Discovered in July by the ATLAS telescope in Chile, the comet is moving too fast to be bound to the Sun. NASA confirms there is no risk to Earth. The object is the third confirmed interstellar visitor after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov.

Chernobyl’s ‘Radiation‑Eating’ Black Fungus Could Help Protect Astronauts on the Moon and Mars

Chernobyl’s ‘Radiation‑Eating’ Black Fungus Could Help Protect Astronauts on the Moon and Mars

A black fungus thriving inside Chernobyl’s reactor, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, has drawn global attention after new research confirmed its melanin can shield plastics from space radiation. Scientists first identified the fungus in the 1990s, noting its unusual growth toward radioactive material. NASA has already tested similar fungi on the International Space Station as a potential radiation barrier.
