During its closest approach to Mars on October 3, 2025, 3I/ATLAS was 30 million km away from ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).This image of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was captured on October 3, 2025 by the CaSSIS instrument aboard ESA’s Trace Gas Orbiter. Image credit: ESA / TGO / CaSSIS.TGO captured the new images of 3I/ATLAS with its Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS). “This was a very challenging observation for the instrument,” said Dr. Nick Thomas, principal investigator of the CaSSIS instrument at ESA. “3I/ATLAS is the slightly fuzzy white dot moving downwards near the center of the images.” “This dot is the center of the comet, comprising its icy-rocky nucleus and its surrounding coma.” “CaSSIS could not distinguish the nucleus from the coma, because 3I/ATLAS was too far away.” “The angular resolution of the CaSSIS camera...

Trump and Kennedy claim it’s unsafe to give young children Tylenol. What does the science say?

It started with an unsubstantiated warning that taking Tylenol during pregnancy could raise a child’s risk of autism. But the message from President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to have quickly expanded to suggest that babies and young children should avoid the common painkiller.“Don’t give it to the baby when the baby’s born,” Trump said of Tylenol at a Cabinet meeting on Thursday.Kennedy jumped in to suggest that children who are circumcised have higher autism rates, “likely because they’re given Tylenol.”As the administration’s stance on the medication has broadened over the last few weeks, researchers say the notion that young children may develop autism as a result of taking Tylenol is particularly far-fetched.“There’s even less evidence that there’s a link between Tylenol in early childhood and autism than there is...
