Interstellar Visitor 3I/Atlas, NASA's SphereX Sky Map, and the Self-Destructive Exoplanet

Astronomy Daily: Space News Updates

• New Interstellar Visitor 3i Atlas: Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of 3i Atlas, a comet speeding through our solar system, marking only the third interstellar object detected. We discuss its composition, trajectory, and the potential for future observations as it approaches the sun.
• - NASA's SphereX Mission: Explore NASA's ambitious SphereX mission, which is creating a comprehensive all-sky map of the universe. With its data made publicly available, we delve into the significance of this project for both professional astronomers and enthusiasts alike.
• - The Self-Destructive Exoplanet HIP 67522B: Join us as we unravel the bizarre case of HIP 67522B, an exoplanet that appears to be destroying itself due to its close orbit around its star. Discover how its interactions are reshaping our understanding of star-planet dynamics.
• - James Webb Space Telescope Revelations: We highlight the groundbreaking discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope, from observing the earliest galaxies to analysing atmospheres of distant exoplanets, and how these findings are revolutionising our understanding of the universe.
• - Weather Satellites Aid Venus Research: Learn how Japan's Himawari 8 and 9 satellites, typically used for monitoring Earth's weather, are providing new insights into Venus's atmosphere, revealing temperature patterns and dynamics previously unseen.
