Newly released images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS appear to show the alien object spitting out an enormous jet of gas and dust toward the sun — just as comets are expected to do.Discovered in late June and confirmed by NASA in early July, the comet originates from an unknown star system far beyond our own. 3I/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object ever detected. At somewhere between 3 and 7 miles (5 to 11 kilometers) wide, it is the largest interstellar object ever to cross our path, and likely the oldest, potentially dating to billions of years before the…

With only 13 days left before the New York City mayoral election, former governor Andrew Cuomo is partnering with some of the same influencers who helped President Donald Trump win the White House last year.Over the past week, right-wing creators like Logan Paul, the former vlogger turned podcaster and WWE wrestler, and Emily Austin, an influencer and sports commentator, have published content featuring Cuomo as a guest on their shows. The appearances have marked a new investment by Cuomo’s team into cultivating attention online as a means of competing against the social media–savvy Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. But instead of…

Fragments of the hellish, lava-covered “proto-planet” that existed before Earth 4.5 billion years ago have survived unaltered in ancient rocks, groundbreaking new research reveals.The fragments contain telltale potassium signatures not seen in any other rocks or meteorites that scientists have examined so far, according to a study published Oct. 14 in the journal Nature Geoscience. Theoretically, these signatures should have disappeared in the giant collision that formed the moon, but it now appears that a handful survived this cataclysmic event and subsequently withstood the test of time.”This is maybe the first direct evidence that we’ve preserved the proto Earth materials,”…

Alamosaurus was among the last dinosaurs in southern North America when the asteroid hit. (Image credit: Natalia Jagielska)Some of the last dinosaurs in the world were healthy and thriving right up until the day they were annihilated by asteroid Armageddon, a new study on fossils from New Mexico finds.Scientists have debated for decades whether non-avian dinosaurs were in decline before a massive asteroid struck Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula at the end of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago). The new study, published Thursday (Oct. 23) in the journal Science, supports previous evidence that the dinosaurs were struck…

If you walk into a grocery store, you’ll likely see piles of fruits and vegetables waiting to be purchased.

So, do you know where apples and pumpkins emerged? What about potatoes, cherries and lemons? Aromatic treats made from beans, like chocolate and coffee, were also cultivated by humans. Take our quiz to see if you can nail down the origin…

US president Donald Trump has pardoned Changpeng Zhao, founder of the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance.Zhao, widely known as CZ, pled guilty in November 2023 to violating anti-money-laundering laws and US sanctions.

The DOJ had originally petitioned for a three-year prison sentence.After issuing the pardon, the White House has cast Zhao as the victim of a plot to trample the crypto industry carried out by the administration…

A hefty chunk of blackened material recently found smoldering in the Australian outback is likely part of a secretive Chinese rocket, experts claim. The charred debris likely crash-landed shortly after failing to completely burn up upon reentry to Earth’s atmosphere.Local miners discovered the smoking wreckage, which measures around 5 feet (1.5 meters) across, at around 2 p.m. local time on Saturday (Oct. 18), roughly 18.5 miles (30 kilometers) from the town of Newman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, ABC News originally reported.Local police quickly identified the object as potential space debris after ruling out the possibility that it…
