A newly discovered comet could be visible to the naked eye as it shoots past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, astronomers have said.
The comet is called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) after the Zwicky Transient Facility, which first spotted it passing Jupiter in March last year.
After traveling from the icy reaches of our Solar System it will come closest to the Sun on January 12 and pass nearest to Earth on February 1.
Airbus will collaborate with Voyager Space to develop the new Starlab space station by 2028.
Airbus and Voyager Space have announced a partnership to develop and operate Starlab â a free-flying space station that will serve NASA and function as a global customer base of space agencies and researchers. Starlab is planned for launch in 2028 to ensure a continued human presence in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).
Despite the 10-second lag, two astronauts had a lot to say about tech for space at CES 2023.
Today (Jan. 06), the International Space Station (ISS), which is the only location where people can investigate the long-term effects of living without gravity, completed the first call ever made in 4K to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023.
In the first instance, the discussion was unsurprisingly focused on what itâs like to be living in space now. After all, itâs not every day you get to watch two astronauts in real-time casually floating a mic between each other to answer our pressing earthly questions.

In other words, what appears to be emergent to us today, with our present limitations of what its within our power to compute, may someday in the future be describable in purely reductionist terms. Many such systems that were once incapable of being described via reductionism have, with superior models (as far as what we choose to pay attention to) and the advent of improved computing power, now been successfully described in precisely a reductionist fashion. Many seemingly chaotic systems can, in fact, be predicted to whatever accuracy we arbitrarily choose, so long as enough computational resources are available.
Yes, we canât rule out non-reductionism, but wherever weâve been able to make robust predictions for what the fundamental laws of nature do imply for large-scale, complex structures, theyâve been in agreement with what weâve been able to observe and measure. The combination of the known particles that make up the Universe and the four fundamental forces through which they interact has been sufficient to explain, from atomic to stellar scales and beyond, everything weâve ever encountered in this Universe. The existence of systems that are too complex to predict with current technology is not an argument against reductionism.
Comet C/2022 E3 will be visible in the northern sky this month.
Comet C/2022 E3 hasnât been seen for 50,000 years, but nowâs your chance.
New James Webb observations reveal massive Milky Way-like structures that scientists didnât expect to find in the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope continues to alter our understanding of the universe.
The $10 billion space observatory has observed Milky Way-like galaxies much further back in time than previously thought possible, a press statement reveals.
Summary: Time spent in a novel environment causes neural representations to grow in a surprising way.

Young children sometimes believe that the moon is following them, or that they can reach out and touch it. It appears to be much closer than is proportional to its true distance. As we move about our daily lives, we tend to think that we navigate space in a linear way.
