Melvin Mosley+FollowComet Breaks Up Live on Telescope!Astronomers in Italy just caught a comet literally breaking apart in real time! Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) split into three huge pieces after a close pass by the sun, and the fragments are now drifting thousands of miles apart. The wildest part? This comet is 4.6 billion years old, so its exposed insides are basically a time capsule from the birth of our solar system. Space drama at its finest! #Science #comet #space10Share
awaters+FollowNASA Spotted an Alien World’s Weather!Did you know NASA used the Hubble Space Telescope to peek at the weather on a planet 150 light-years away? Back in 2001, they found sodium in the atmosphere of a giant, super-hot planet—kind of like checking the air quality on Jupiter, but way farther out. This discovery opened the door for scientists to start studying the air on other worlds, which could one day help us find planets with breathable air or even signs of life! #Business #Industry #space101Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDid You Know the Universe Has a Speed Cap?Mind blown: the universe actually has a built-in speed limit, and it’s not just about how fast light travels. The real deal is that this limit is baked into the fabric of spacetime itself. Even light can get trapped if gravity is strong enough (hello, black holes!). And no matter how hard we try, nothing with mass can ever hit that cosmic speed—because it would take infinite energy. Basically, the universe is one giant, unbreakable speed trap! #Science #ScienceFacts #Space10Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowA Giant Comet Is Headed for the Sun!A rare, super-bright comet just got spotted and it’s racing toward the Sun! Astronomers think it’s a Kreutz sungrazer, which means it could light up the sky in April—maybe even during the day. But here’s the wild part: it’s huge, and no one’s ever seen one this far out before. There’s a chance it could break apart as it gets close, so keep your eyes peeled for a cosmic show! #Science #comet #space92Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAlien Comet or Cosmic Oddball?Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is putting on a wild show for Hubble. Instead of the usual blurry, spinning jets, this space rock is firing off three razor-sharp jets that refuse to blur, plus a weird anti-tail pointing at the Sun. Some folks are even speculating it’s an alien probe, but scientists say it’s just a super-weird comet from another star system. Either way, it’s the strangest visitor our solar system’s seen in a while! #Science #space #Hubble00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowSpace Star Goes Dark—Here’s WhyA sun-like star 3,000 light-years away just dimmed 40x for months, and astronomers are freaking out. Turns out, a massive metallic wind cloud—think iron and calcium—was swirling around a mystery object, maybe a giant planet or a brown dwarf. Some scientists think it’s the aftermath of two planets colliding! Wild reminder that the universe is still full of surprises and cosmic drama. Would you want to see what’s hiding in that cloud? #Science #space #astronomy30Share
