In April, the astronomer said that he had discovered a large asteroid with a diameter of about 200 meters, potentially dangerous for the Earth ...

A new study challenges traditional spin-statistics assumptions in ion-atom charge exchanges, revealing unexpected dynamics in C3+ and helium collisions and opening new avenues in quantum reactivity.

A comet is defined as an icy body that is small in size and can develop a ‘tail’ of gas as it approaches the Sun from the outer Solar System. The key traits of a comet are its nucleus, coma, and tail.

Comets are large objects made of dust and ice that orbit the sun and are ancient leftovers of the formation of the universe over four billion years ago. The dust and ion tails from comets make for ...

A dazzling comet left behind a dramatic dust tail as it swept around the sun, new photos reveal. C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was visible to the naked eye earlier in October as the comet ...

At present, the vast comet has a coma (the dusty cloud around its head) that is some 130,000 miles across—and a tail a whopping 18 million miles long. However, Comet ATLAS (C/2024 S1 ...
