Astronomers Discover 3I/ATLAS, Largest Interstellar Comet Yet Detected

Astronomers have discovered 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar comet to pass through our solar system. Detected by the ATLAS telescope in Chile, it’s racing inward at 150,000 mph and will swing closest to the Sun in October. Estimated to be 10–20 kilometers across, it is likely the largest interstellar object observed so far. Signs of cometary activity suggest it’s an icy relic from another star system. Early detection has given astronomers time to study its composition before it’s altered by solar heating—offering rare insight into planet formation beyond our own system.

NASA’s New Horizons Proves Deep-Space Navigation via Stellar Parallax

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accomplished a world-first by performing a deep-space stellar navigation test using stellar parallax. On April 23, 2020, while 438 million miles from Earth, it imaged nearby stars Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359. From the spacecraft’s distant viewpoint, the stars appeared slightly shifted compared to Earth-based observations, showcasing a clear demonstration of stellar parallax. By comparing these images with Earth data and a 3D star chart, scientists accurately determined New Horizons’ position within 4.1 million miles. This groundbreaking achievement proves that a spacecraft can navigate autonomously by observing stars using onboard cameras. The technique reduces reliance on Earth-based tracking systems and offers a viable navigation method for future missions to the outer solar system and beyond. NASA sees this as a vital step toward interstellar travel and self-guided deep-space exploration.

AI Designs Ocean Gliders Inspired by Sea Creatures to Boost Underwater Research Efficiency

Researchers at MIT and the University of Wisconsin have developed AI-designed underwater gliders inspired by marine animals. The new shapes, generated using machine learning, move more efficiently underwater than traditional torpedo designs. This innovation could greatly improve climate and ocean monitoring by enabling better performance, energy savings, and adaptive navigation in underwater environments.

Paula Bomer: ‘If you describe yourself as a victim, you’re dismissed’

Having made waves as part of the alt-lit movement, the US author is poised to go mainstream with The Stalker, her most exhilarating work yet

When I arrive at Paula Bomer’s apartment building in south Brooklyn I am briefly disoriented in the lobby, until I hear the yapping of dogs and amid them, her voice calling my name. Bomer is tall and striking, in her mid-50s. I met her last year at a reading in Williamsburg, Virginia, where she seemed like someone who cared almost manically about literature and also like someone who would be fun to hang out with, two qualities not always confluent. I had heard of these anxious dogs before, when she and I met for dinner a few months ago, and she disclosed that her life was now spent managing canine neuroses.

“I got them when my dad died,” she says, in between offering me matcha, coffee, tequila or wine (it’s 2.30pm on a Sunday; Bomer doesn’t drink any more, save a glass of champagne on selling her book, but doesn’t mind if others do). “The dogs were a mistake,” she says, “But that’s OK, I’ll survive it.”
