An astronomer in Italy captured a rare photograph showing Comet Lemmon seemingly entwined with a meteor trail, creating a stunning cosmic illusion, during the peak of the Orionid meteor shower, highlighting the beauty and unpredictability of celestial events.
During the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, a mysterious glowing spiral was observed across several US states, likely caused by rocket fuel dumped during a spacecraft reentry, though the exact origin remains uncertain due to multiple rocket launches around the same time.
Stargazers along the East Coast observed unusual spiral lights in the night sky, likely caused by the tumbling upper stage of the Ariane 6 rocket during its disposal, coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower and other rocket launches, creating a spectacular and rare visual display.
Scientists initially detected a mysterious radio burst thought to originate from a distant galaxy, but it was later traced to a long-dead satellite from 1964, which seemingly sent a signal from beyond the grave, possibly due to electrostatic discharge or micrometeorite impact, highlighting the strange and unexplored nature of space.
Astronomers have discovered a unique radio transient, ASKAP J1935+2148, with an unprecedented cycle of nearly an hour, exhibiting varying pulse patterns. Detected by the ASKAP radio telescope, this signal challenges current understanding of neutron stars and white dwarfs, suggesting the need for further research into these cosmic phenomena.
