Comets

Astronomers and space agencies continue to track the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS streaking through solar system at blistering speeds

Astronomers unveiled the discovery of seven new 'dark comets' that they believe could be the mechanism by which water enters the inner solar system

The social media has been flooded with the breathtaking pictures of the Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas, leaving astronomers and skywatchers in awe

Around the time the eclipse image was taken, the comet was travelling at roughly 7,24,205 kms per hour, about 4.3 million kms from the Sun's surface

Dubbed as Neowise, the comet swept within Mercury's orbit a week ago

The discovery marks the first time that an object as small as a comet has been detected using transit photometry, a technique by which astronomers observe a star's light for telltale dips in intensity

The composition of the material in these rings varies from ice-rich to ice-depleted but carbon-rich
