Astronomers spot potential 'interstellar visitor' shooting through the solar system toward Earth

Astronomers spot potential 'interstellar visitor' shooting through the solar system toward Earth
Astronomers have detected a mysterious object, temporarily named A11pl3Z, speeding through our solar system on a trajectory that suggests it came from outside our cosmic neighborhood. Its unusual speed and straight path make it a strong candidate for an interstellar visitor—only the third ever observed. Scientists are racing to confirm its origins, which could offer fresh clues about how objects travel between star systems.
Editor’s Note: If this pans out, it’s a rare chance to study material from another star system up close—like getting a cosmic postcard from deep space. The last two interstellar visitors (remember ‘Oumuamua in 2017?) sparked huge scientific debates, and this one could help answer lingering questions about how common such travelers really are. Plus, let’s be honest—it’s just cool to think something from out there is dropping by.

Third Interstellar Object, Comet 3I/ATLAS, Is Traveling Through Solar System
neutralScience
Astronomers have spotted a rare cosmic traveler—Comet 3I/ATLAS—zipping through our solar system. Originally dubbed A11pI3Z, it’s only the third known object from another star system to visit us, following ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and Comet Borisov in 2019. Think of it like an interstellar tourist passing through our galactic neighborhood.
Editor’s Note: These interstellar visitors are like cosmic breadcrumbs, offering clues about how other star systems form and what’s lurking beyond our solar system. While this comet isn’t posing any threat, its journey helps scientists piece together the bigger picture of our universe—like getting a postcard from deep space. Cool, right?

Recycling Rubber Just Got Real and It’s Surprisingly Simple

Recycling Rubber Just Got Real and It’s Surprisingly Simple
positiveScience
Scientists have cracked a major recycling puzzle: how to break down rubber’s stubborn chemical bonds without wrecking its usefulness. This breakthrough could turn mountains of discarded tires and medical gloves into new products instead of landfill waste—and the method is simpler than you’d think.
Editor’s Note: Rubber is everywhere—from your sneakers to surgical gloves—but recycling it has always been a nightmare because of its tough molecular structure. If this new technique scales up, it could slash pollution and give rubber a second life, making our throwaway habits a little less guilty. That’s a win for both industry and the planet.

See Mercury at greatest elongation, its farthest from the sun in the evening sky this week
positiveScience
This week, skywatchers have a rare chance to spot Mercury in the evening sky as it reaches "greatest elongation"—its farthest apparent distance from the sun. The tiny planet will be briefly visible just after sunset, offering a fleeting but rewarding glimpse for those who know where to look.
Editor’s Note: Mercury is usually tough to spot because it’s so close to the sun, but this celestial alignment makes it easier to see for a short time. If you’ve ever wanted to check the solar system’s smallest planet off your list, grab your binoculars and find a clear western horizon after sunset. It’s a cool little cosmic moment for casual stargazers and astronomy nerds alike.

** Imagine never having to scramble to catch a meteor shower or rocket launch again. This article highlights a handy way to sync your calendar with celestial events—like eclipses, space missions, and even stunning cosmic sightings (like the James Webb Telescope’s snap of galaxy NGC 1512). It’s basically a cosmic reminder system for stargazers and space enthusiasts.

'52 Assignments: Night Photography': A Q&A with author and astrophotographer Josh Dury
neutralScience
Astrophotographer Josh Dury discusses the growing threat of light pollution in his new book, 52 Assignments: Night Photography, questioning whether we might be the last generation to experience the full majesty of an unpolluted night sky. The Q&A explores both the artistic and environmental stakes of losing our celestial views.
Editor’s Note: It’s easy to take a starry night for granted, but Dury’s work is a wake-up call—our view of the cosmos is literally fading. Beyond stunning photos, his book highlights how artificial light is eroding one of humanity’s oldest connections to the universe. If we don’t act, future generations might only see a washed-out sky.
