How 2025 became the year of comet: The rise of interstellar 3I/ATLAS, an icy Lemmon and a cosmic SWAN

Russia has patented a new design for a space station that aims to generate artificial gravity by rotating habitable modules around a central axis, creating centrifugal force to simulate gravity for crew members. This innovative approach could enhance long-duration space missions.

Before embarking on missions to Mars, researchers emphasize the urgent need for improved protection against cosmic rays, which pose significant health risks to astronauts outside Earth's magnetic shield. Current technologies may not adequately shield space travelers from these harmful radiation levels, necessitating advancements in protective measures.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, having recently moved away from Earth, continues to intrigue astronomers with its unusual wobbling jets in its sun-facing tail. This comet has been observed to exhibit a unique X-ray glow extending approximately 250,000 miles into space, revealing interactions between its gases and solar particles.

In 2025, UFO researchers reported that their quest for extraterrestrial life has not yielded definitive answers, emphasizing that the search for understanding continues. Despite advancements in technology and research, the mystery surrounding unidentified flying objects remains unresolved.
