Hubble Telescope Captures Comet Reversing Its Rotation for the First Time
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observed Comet 41P slow, stop, and reverse its spin due to gas jets. The rare phenomenon could mark the beginning of the comet’s breakup as it nears the end of its life.

Scientists Identify 45 Earth-Like Planets Beyond Our Solar System
Using data from Gaia mission and NASA Exoplanet Archive, scientists identified 45 rocky planets in habitable zones. These worlds, including TRAPPIST-1 e and Proxima b, are prime targets in the search for extraterrestrial life.
