In a breakthrough for exoplanet science, astronomers have discovered three Earth-sized planets orbiting both stars in a compact binary system located around 190 light-years away. The system, known as TOI-2267,

3I/ATLAS is a comet which was detected by the boffins over at NASA on 1 July, with researchers at the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) identifying the mysterious terrestrial rock. The comet - which is roughly the size of New York - will become the third interstellar space object to enter our solar system in recorded history.

NASA has thrown a lifeline to scientists working on a mission to visit an asteroid that will make an unusually close flyby of the Earth in 2029, reversing the Trump administration’s previous plan to shut it down.

The flight will look for undiscovered mineral areas and hopefully advance geological science.

While scientists are confident it is a comet, its origins have ignited wild theories, including the persistent idea that it could be an alien spacecraft. As it approaches its perihelion—its closest point to the Sun—on 29 October 2025,

Webb just spotted a carbon-rich moon factory 625 light-years away, revealing how moons like ours may have first taken shape.

According to NASA, "Asteroid 2024 YR4 is now too far away to observe with either space or ground-based telescopes. The space agency expects to make further observations when the asteroid’s orbit around the Sun brings it back into the vicinity of Earth in 2028.

NASA has confirmed a new cosmic tag-along: asteroid 2025 PN7, a “quasi-moon” orbiting the Sun in sync with Earth. This tiny space buddy will stick around until 2083.

Her determination eventually led her to join NASA and take a leading role in building the International Space Station through international collaboration. Those experiences left her with a defining philosophy: true progress comes when people from different backgrounds work together toward a shared goal instead of standing in opposition.
