Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Cryovolcanoes, Expanding Coma and ‘Heartbeat’ Pulses – Latest Updates as of December 3, 2025

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Cryovolcanoes, Expanding Coma and ‘Heartbeat’ Pulses – Latest Updates as of December 3, 2025

Astronomers report interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is erupting with ice volcanoes and shows a symmetric coma without a visible tail, unlike typical comets. The object displays a 16.16-hour brightness cycle, fueling debate about its origins. Viral images show a star-like blob as it approaches Earth, coming closest on December 19 at 170 million miles. 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar comet.

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.
