Green Comet C/2024 E1 Brightens Near Mars as Scientists Forecast a Permanent Exit From the Solar System
Astronomers are closely tracking the bright green comet C/2024 E1 as it approaches Earth and prepares for a future escape from the solar system. Originating from the distant Oort Cloud, the city-sized comet is on a hyperbolic path and is expected to be permanently ejected after its close solar encounter, similar to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

Asteroid Detected Hours Before Earth Impact, Creates Fireball Over Siberia
On December 3, 2024, a small asteroid, C0WEPC5, measuring about 27 inches in diameter, was detected just hours before entering Earth's atmosphere. The asteroid disintegrated harmlessly over Siberia, creating a bright fireball. This marked the fourth "imminent impactor" event of the year, with three others recorded over Berlin, Hawaii, and the Phili...
