CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A newly-discovered bright comet visible to naked eyes – even from the suburbs of larger cities – will whiz past Earth next year.

While naked-eye comets are rare, visible roughly once in two years, C/2023 A3 could be a comet of a decade, according to Peter Veres, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

“Comet C/2023 A3 is no threat to Earth,” said Veres, who is also a research scientist at the Minor Planet Center. “We know the comet’s orbit well. The orbit is becoming better and better with more and more astrometric observations incoming to our center – the MPC.”

Science fiction loves space collisions. Across decades of books, movies, TV shows, and video games, we have been treated to a lot of space stuff slamming into other space stuff. Think of all those starship chases through dense asteroid fields — The Empire Strikes Back comes to mind. The heroes must avoid enemy fighters while navigating through giant space rocks that are crashing together.

In reality, though, how likely is it that things collide in the vast blackness of space? To answer that question, we are going to focus on two familiar forms of celestial bodies: stars and galaxies.

In three years, the “Ƅlack hole мerger,” a rare astronoмical occurrence, will take place. A single Ƅlack hole will be created when two extremely large black holes мeet and мerge. Due to the fact that the point of conʋergence will Ƅe ʋisiƄle to telescopes, this enables researchers to мore thoroughly examine the characteristics and behavior of Ƅlack holes. Scientists and anyone who enjoys science are likely to Ƅe ʋery interested in this Ƅig and fascinating occurrence.

Scientists eagerly await the historic мoмent, as it would be the first tiмe that graʋitational waʋes eмitted Ƅy such an eʋent haʋe Ƅeen recorded on Earth. A recent study says it would be “the first oƄserʋaƄle superмassiʋe Ƅinary Ƅlack hole coalescence in huмan history.” The collision would Ƅecome a major discovery in astronoмy.

A peaceful warrior in flight like the wind

“From the days of the Ancients have been heard the lamentations of the woeful and disheartened, and they ask the winds, ‘Where have we failed for the God we pray to remains unresponsive?” They air their goodness and virtue and ask why these have gone unrewarded. …

When a star ventures a little too close to a black hole, the intense tidal forces suck into it like a giant noodle of star stuff in a cosmic (and much more chaotic) reenactment of that iconic scene in “Lady and the Tramp.” The black hole’s extreme gravitational pull shreds the star into thin strands of material—a process delightfully called “spaghettification.”  When these noodle-like strips get sucked into the black hole, they release a powerful bright flare of energy.

When you hear the word bioluminescence, do you think of glowing ocean waves under a dark sky? Many do. But, bioluminescence includes all life that – through a chemical reaction – emits light. In the image above, a single-celled form of marine plankton, known as bioluminescent dinoflagellates, are the source of the light on the incoming waves. But in addition, there are bioluminescent creatures in the deeper ocean, too. And we here on Earth’s dry land sometimes see bioluminescent creatures flying in the air.

Egyptian officials have released photos of an ancient scroll, the 52-foot-long (16 meters) Book of the Dead papyrus recently discovered in Saqqara. The 10 images show ancient illustrations of gods and scenes from the afterlife, as well as text on the document, which is more than 2,000 years old.

Archaeologists discovered the Book of the Dead papyrus within a coffin in a tomb near the Step Pyramid of Djoser and announced the discovery on Jan. 14 for Egyptian Archaeologists Day, but this is the first time they’ve released images of the scroll to the public.
