Patrick Simmons+FollowGalactic Oddballs: Pulsar & Supernova Out of BoundsImagine finding a runaway pulsar and a supernova remnant way off in the galactic 'no-go zone'—where stars basically never hang out. Scientists just spotted this wild duo, called Calvera, chilling far above the Milky Way’s disk. Turns out, even the galaxy’s quietest corners can host some cosmic drama. This discovery is making astronomers rethink what’s possible in the outskirts of our galaxy. Space is full of surprises! #Science #space #astronomy40Share
megangibson+FollowCaught a Comet from Another Star!Okay, this was wild—scientists just let us peek over their shoulders as they tracked the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in real time! Only the third of its kind ever spotted, this icy traveler zoomed into our solar system and had everyone scrambling for telescope time. The live event was like a cosmic reality show: calibrating giant mirrors, chasing a blurry smudge, and hoping to catch rare chemicals. The best part? We might get another look when it swings back around the sun. Space nerds, this is our Super Bowl! #Science #comet #space20Share
Jerry Clark+FollowIs That a Spaceship or Just a Really Weird Comet?So, a Harvard physicist thinks that mysterious glowing object zooming through our solar system might not just be a boring old comet—it could be a nuclear-powered spaceship! If true, that’s basically the universe’s version of a surprise guest at your house party. While NASA says it’s a comet, the weird glow and strange path have scientists scratching their heads. If this turns out to be alien tech, get ready for a whole new chapter in space travel—and maybe your next vacation spot! #Business #Industry #space5145Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowIs This Interstellar Visitor Actually Glowing?Okay, space fans, get this: there’s a new interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, cruising through our solar system—and it might be glowing on its own. Most comets just reflect sunlight, but this one’s got a weird, flashlight-like glow and no tail. Harvard’s Avi Loeb is already floating the wild theory that it could be a nuclear-powered alien spacecraft falling apart after eons in space. NASA’s keeping an eye on it as it swings by Mars this fall. Sci-fi writers, start your engines! #Science #space #aliens12231Share
megangibson+FollowComet Water Matches Earth’s Oceans?!Okay, this is wild—scientists just found that water from the “Devil Comet” (12P/Pons-Brooks) has the same chemical signature as Earth’s oceans. That means comets like this could have literally delivered water to our planet billions of years ago! They used two mega telescopes to check the water’s ‘fingerprint’ and it’s basically a match. Proof that we might owe our oceans to space rocks crashing into Earth. Mind = blown. #Science #space #science213Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowUniverse’s First Molecule Just Got a RemixScientists just recreated the universe’s OG molecule—helium hydride ion (HeH+)—by chilling it to near absolute zero and smashing it with heavy hydrogen. Turns out, these reactions don’t slow down in the cold like we thought, which totally flips what we know about how the first stars formed. Basically, the chemistry of the early universe is way wilder than anyone expected. Space nerds, this is your new favorite plot twist! #Science #space #science00Share
martinezlaura+FollowStar Eats Black Hole, Universe Goes WildImagine a star trying to swallow a black hole—and accidentally blowing itself up in the process! Astronomers just caught this cosmic drama 750 million light-years away. First, it looked like a regular supernova, but then it brightened again months later (which never happens). Turns out, the star’s wild dance with a black hole triggered a never-before-seen explosion. Space is seriously full of surprises! #Science #space #supernova30875Share
James Brady+FollowMars’ Wildest Scars RevealedESA’s Mars Express orbiter just dropped a jaw-dropping high-res pic of Acheron Fossae, and it’s wild. Think giant cracks, sunken valleys, and raised ridges—like Mars got slashed by a cosmic claw. These scars are billions of years old, shaped by volcanoes, glaciers, and meteor impacts. And the orbiter’s not done yet—ESA’s keeping it in orbit till at least 2026, so expect even more epic Martian close-ups soon! #Science #Mars #Space30Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowScientists Create 'Seed of Life' Super AlcoholChemists just whipped up a 'super alcohol' called methanetetrol—something scientists thought was too unstable to exist! They made it under crazy space-like conditions, and it could be a major clue in the search for alien life. This molecule is like a prebiotic bomb, ready to spark more complex chemistry wherever it forms. If we find it in space, it might mean the building blocks for life are out there. Mind = blown! #Science #ScienceNews #Space9817Share
James Brady+FollowUniverse’s First Molecule Just Got a RemixScientists just recreated the universe’s very first molecule (helium hydride ion, aka HeH+) in the lab, and it’s blowing minds. Turns out, these molecules are way more important for star formation than anyone thought. The reactions don’t slow down at cold temps like we assumed, which means our whole understanding of how the first stars formed needs a major update. The cosmos is keeping us on our toes! #Science #space #science00Share
