NASA spacecraft reveal interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS brightened rapidly as it swooped behind the sun
Researchers and amateur astronomer Worachate Boonplod kept track of 3I/ATLAS using GOES-19 weather satellite data. (Image credit: Image: CCOR-1/GOES-19/NOAA. Processed and annotated by Worachate Boonplod.)Comet 3I/ATLAS is rapidly brightening as it swings behind the sun, spacecraft observations have revealed.
The comet has been flying around the sun, obscuring it from Earth’s view, to reach perihelion (its closest point to our star) on Thursday (Oct. 29).Yet, while most of the world has been waiting for it to re-emerge, some researchers and amateur astronomers have been using spacecraft to follow its path.On Oct. 18, amateur astronomer and seasoned comet hunter Worachate Boonplod spotted the comet in images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-19 weather satellitewhich uses an instrument called CCOR-1 to observe the sun as part of its regular space weather monitoring. Boonplod noted...
Scientists Reveal That the Red Sea Completely Vanished 6.2 Million Years Ago
New research shows the Red Sea dried out 6.2 million years ago before being suddenly flooded by the Indian Ocean. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.comKAUST researchers discovered that the Red Sea experienced a massive disruption 6.2 million years ago, completely transforming its marine life.
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have confirmed that the Red Sea once completely dried up around 6.2 million years ago, only to be suddenly refilled by a catastrophic influx of water from the Indian Ocean. Their work places a precise timeline on a remarkable event that reshaped the basin’s history.
By combining seismic imaging, microfossil analysis, and geochemical dating, the team discovered that this transformation occurred within just 100,000 years, an exceptionally short span in geological terms. During this period, the Red Sea shifted from being linked to the...
NASA Images Reveal Eerie ‘Ghost Forests’ Spreading in North Carolina
NASA Space Technology Pictures of spooky "ghost forests" in North Carolina have been snapped from space, and a comparison of NASA images show how the bald cypress forests are being killed off.In 2024, the forests along the coastline of North Carolina's Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula have grown increasingly brown, compared to the verdant green of the same region in 2005.Ghost forests are coastal woodlands where trees have died due to rising sea levels, leading to saltwater intrusion and erosion. The salty water of the sea contaminates the groundwater that these forests rely on, affecting the soil chemistry and tree health, slowly killing the forests near the coast, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).Eventually, the dead trees fall over and decompose, but while they're still standing, they appear eerily zombielike against the healthy surrounding landscape.Drag...
