But just about everything about it is massive in scale. The huge size is a rough estimate based on how much sunlight the comet reflects. Most comets have a diameter of less than 10 kilometres.īut the monster comet discovered in June is estimated to be 100 to 200 kilometres across, and about 1000 times bigger than a typical comet. US researchers have discovered the biggest and perhaps weirdest comet ever detected, and it’s headed into our inner solar system for the first time in three million years. Biggest comet, like, ever The giant comet last visited our inner solar system three million years ago.

Earth is losing its shine A space-station image shows Earthshine on the Moon. This is much faster than the typical duration of star formation episodes in galaxies, which is a few billion years. The galaxy is losing the equivalent of 10,000 suns per year in gas, removing 46 per cent of the total cold gas the galaxy contains.īecause the galaxy is also forming stars very rapidly, hundreds of times faster than our Milky Way, the gas that remains will be quickly consumed.Īt the current rate, ID2299 will shut down in just a few tens of millions of years. The scientists, from the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy at Durham University, detected a galaxy called ID2299 that is ejecting nearly half of its star-forming gas.

Death of a galaxy The galaxy is losing 10,000 suns per year. The plan is to hit the target asteroid, known as Dimorphos, at 24,140km/h as it orbits a larger asteroid Didymos. The idea is taken straight from Hollywood: Crash a spacecraft into an asteroid in a bid to smash it off course. In November, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was launched. How the spacecraft will crash into an asteroid. Now it’s moved into defending the planet from wayward life-killing asteroids. Until 2021, the space agency’s mission was all about exploration. The mission, as lyrically described by The New York Times, is to find the earliest, most distant stars and galaxies, which appeared 13.7 billion years ago, “burning their way out of a fog leftover from the Big Bang” (which occurred 13.8 billion years ago).
