Comet Tracker For Friday: A Last Chance To See Them For 1,150 YearsThe two green comets continue to shine brightly in twilight each evening for lucky skywatchers with binoculars in the Northern Hemisphere. https://t.co/OPL20V6U7W ...

Astronomy enthusiasts, mark your calendars for Sunday, Oct. 19. Just before sunrise, catch the rare sight of a 4%-lit crescent moon close to Venus, known as a conjunction. This celestial event is the last chance to witness the Venus-crescent moon pairing this year. (Photo: Jamie Carter) https://t.co/XqiD7uOOfG ...

Astronomical Observation - Astronomers observed a rogue planet consuming gas and dust at a rate of six billion tons per second [1] - This consumption rate is unprecedented [1]

Astronomy & Stargazing - This week's guide provides information about the night sky, stargazing, and astronomy [1]

Interstellar Object 3i/Atlas Observations - Astronomers observe 3i/Atlas exhibiting unusual chemical signatures, producing more nickel than iron, a phenomenon not yet understood [2] - Size estimates of 3i/Atlas are around 3 miles wide, compared to Manhattan's 2 miles at its widest point [2] - 3i/Atlas is moving at 60 km/s, 600 times faster than the fastest race car on Earth, making its speed anomalous [8] Mars Flyby and Imaging - A fleet of camera-ready rovers and orbiters are prepared to capture images of 3i/Atlas during its closest pass on October 3rd [3] - NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter could provide a resolution of 30 kilometers per pixel, offering the best resolution of 3i/Atlas [5] Composition and Mass - Estimated minimum mass of 3i/Atlas is at least 33 billion tons, based on the lack of recoil as it sheds mass and nickel [6] - The object's trajectory aligns with the plane of the planets, which is difficult to explain naturally [7] Wow Signal Alignment - The direction of the Wow signal and 3i/Atlas align with a chance probability of 0.6% [13] - In 1977, 3i/Atlas was approximately three light-days away from the sun, requiring about a gigawatt (the output of a nuclear reactor) to produce the Wow signal [13][14] Potential Origin and Future Study - The object's anomalous nature raises the possibility, though less probable, that it could be technological rather than natural [7][8][15] - A proposal has been made to the United Nations to establish a committee to study interstellar objects detected by the Reuben Observatory in Chile [16]

When To See The ‘Planet Parade’ This Weekend As Saturn Brightenshttps://t.co/MvjZZJLb6e https://t.co/PSPDpkaPxN ...

Skywatchers in some parts of the world are in for a rare treat this weekend as the moon turns a coppery-red to orange color during a total lunar eclipse. Here's what to know: https://t.co/egdls2ZRRu https://t.co/3p9HIhM5Uv ...

RT Bloomberg en Español (@BBGenEspanol)🇨🇱 Científicos advierten que los recortes de Trump a la ciencia ponen en riesgo un importante observatorio en Chile. Sin más fondos, EE.UU. podría perder liderazgo en astronomía.@ValentinaKaryme nos cuenta: https://t.co/88QcbPNKHs https://t.co/AckO5npBXG ...

El Observatorio Rubin en Atacama, Chile, entra en fase de pruebas y promete cartografiar todo el cielo cada cuatro días, mientras la falta de fondos en EE.UU. amenaza al proyecto Giant Magellan Telescope. https://t.co/NpQz0Kr3YM ...

Best seen at least an hour before sunrise, the brightest members of the alignment will be Venus and Jupiter in the eastern sky. https://t.co/6gxyPpE55U https://t.co/3KwWD2hwnZ ...
