Researchers find that cosmic dust acts as a catalyst, helping simple space gases form key molecules that may jump-start ...

The study of astrochemistry delves into the formation, evolution and destruction of molecules across the vast expanses of the interstellar medium (ISM). Within these regions—from cold dark molecular ...

But could a comet from another star system really reshape both planetary science and investment strategies? Comet 3I/ATLAS, ...

XRISM's Xtend telescope captured the first X-ray image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing a faint X-ray glow and ...

Scientists have discovered unusually high levels of methanol, a key molecule linked to life, in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

Called 3I/ATLAS, the object is only the third of its kind known to astronomers, and it’s likely been heading our way for billions of years, carrying pristine material from another star system Jay ...

Fresh data on 3I/ATLAS show dramatic outgassing, CO₂-rich emissions, and possible 'ice volcanoes,' challenging conventional ...
