The Great Southern Comet came within 446,000 miles of the Sun — scientists explain how close an object can get and survive
Astronomical objects can approach the Sun, with some comets and asteroids traveling remarkably close and surviving. Mercury, despite being closest to the Sun, has its orbit much farther than various known comets and asteroids. The Great Southern Comet of 1887 notably survived a close encounter, coming within 446,187 miles of the Sun's center. NASA's Parker Solar Probe has approached even closer, utilizing advanced engineering to withstand harsh solar conditions.
Scientists found 84 strange objects hiding inside six galaxies. Their unusual X-ray emissions could change what we know about the universe
Scientists have discovered 84 unusual “hypersoft X-ray sources” across six galaxies using archival data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The objects produce unusually low-energy X-rays and may emit intense ultraviolet radiation, unlike previously observed X-ray sources. Researchers believe they could be linked to X-ray binary systems and may help investigate the origins of Type Ia supernovae as well as the unexplained ionisation of gas between stars.
Science says comets develop tails only near the Sun: Here’s what really makes them ‘come alive’
A comet’s nucleus is made up primarily of frozen material mixed with dust and rocky particles. When the comet is far from the Sun, extremely low temperatures allow much of this volatile material to remain in a solid, frozen state.
8 years, 10 billion km, one shot: The spacecraft racing toward Mercury faces its trickiest hour yet
A spacecraft carrying European and Japanese probes will complete an eight-year journey to arrive at Mercury on Thursday, while still facing high-risk manoeuvres to study the Sun-scorched planet. From April, ESA's Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) will begin studying the planet closest to the Sun with unprecedented precision, passing just 480 km from its surface, while the Japanese Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (Mio) will focus on its space environment and magnetic field, following an elliptical orbit that will carry it as far as 11,000 km away.
