BREAKING: Webb Space Telescope may have spotted a Saturn-sized planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A β€” the closest Sun-like star to Earth! If confirmed, it’s the nearest planet seen orbiting in a habitable zone. A game-changer for exoplanet science!

At the center is a comet that appears as a teardrop-shaped bluish cocoon of dust coming off the comet’s solid, icy nucleus, which is almost white, all against a black background. The comet appears to be heading to the bottom left corner. About a dozen short, light blue diagonal streaks are scattered across the view, which are from background stars that appeared to move during the exposure because the telescope was tracking the moving comet.

Hubble observations of interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS show that it looks like a comet. It has a teardrop-shaped cocoon of dust coming off a solid icy nucleus. The nucleus is roughly no wider than 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers): go.nasa.gov/3UenJhD πŸ”­ πŸ§ͺ

CAVES

"Sources have informed Liberation Times that additional types of retrieval operations occur between the CIA and certain elements of the DoD.

These operations are understood to include recoveries of non-human materials in cave systems involving elements of the U.S. Army."

This is absurd.

The red supergiant Betelgeuse is the bright feature in this image.

But that darker blue splotch is a *companion star* that's just been discoveredβ€”and it orbits so close to Betelgeuse that it's inside the larger star's outer atmosphere.

3...2...1... and lift-off! To new, emerging worlds! πŸš€ πŸͺ

Around the baby star HOPS-315, astronomers have captured the dawn of a new solar system.

Never before had a planetary system been identified at such an early stage in its formation.

Holy shit.

This is 3I/ATLASβ€”the interstellar comet recently discovered passing through the Solar System.

You're looking at something that didn't start out here.

It came from another star.

And, at about 7 billion years old, it was already ancient when our Sun was born.

Ten years ago today.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft made the firstβ€”and so far onlyβ€”visit to Pluto.

This is a true-colour image mosaic of this enigmatic world, processed to match what our eyes would see if we were there ourselves.

Are we alone? To find out, NASA is building the Habitable Worlds Observatory. This powerful space telescope uses proven technologies from Hubble, #NASAWebb, and #NASARoman to look for signatures of planets that can support lifeβ€”and maybe life itself: go.nasa.gov/44KCbT7 πŸ”­ πŸ§ͺ

That small dot moving left to right is 3I/ATLAS.

It's a comet that was discovered on 1 July 2025.

It's travelling at 58 km PER SECOND and isn't gravitationally bound to the Sun.

Which means you're looking at a comet that formed around another star, passing through the Solar System.

Whoa.

That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.

With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

One of the most curious and unique pieces in my collection: handwritten seance transcripts from 1910s to the 1930s. Over two decades of recorded contacts with non-human intelligences, from a spiritist circle since long defunct. Nothing is known about them. They named themselves 'Light of The Dawn'.

This is just a *taste* of what the Vera C. Rubin Observatoryβ€”under construction for ten years and hosting an 8.4 m-diameter mirror and the largest CCD camera ever builtβ€”is going to give us.

The first-look pictures have just dropped, and this is one of them.
