Rare Interstellar Comet Racing Through Our Solar System Could Be the Oldest Ever Seen

Rare Interstellar Comet Racing Through Our Solar System Could Be the Oldest Ever Seen

Comet 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object, was discovered July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS telescope in Chile. Hurtling through the Solar System at 210,000 km/h, it will never come closer than 240 million km to Earth. Scientists estimate it is 7–8 billion years old, with telescopes detecting a carbon dioxide-rich coma and green glow as it nears the Sun. NASA, ESA, and global astronomers are closely tracking its brief passage.

Space Junk Gold Rush: Inside the 2025–2032 Race to Clean Up Earth’s Orbit and Cash In on Sustainability

Space Junk Cleanup Breakthrough: Ion Engine Exhaust Could Blast Debris Out of Orbit

Researchers have demonstrated a bidirectional ion thruster that fires plasma beams to push space debris out of orbit without contact. Lab tests showed about 25 milli-Newtons of thrust, close to what’s needed to deorbit a 1-ton object in 100 days. The system uses argon gas but requires high power and doubles fuel use. Most orbital debris is spinning, making non-contact removal safer than nets or harpoons.

Baby Black Hole Booted Across Space: First-Ever Measurement of a Cosmic “Natal Kick”

Baby Black Hole Booted Across Space: First-Ever Measurement of a Cosmic “Natal Kick”

Astronomers have directly measured the speed and direction of a black hole ejected by a merger, finding it was flung at about 50 km/s after the 2019 GW190412 event. Uneven gravitational waves from two black holes of unequal mass caused the kick. The velocity is high enough for the black hole to escape its star cluster. This is the first such measurement, confirming long-standing predictions.
