Space is a mysterious and dangerous place. While we know that black holes can swallow up whole planets, some things are far scarier than them. Apart from black holes, various objects in the universe can pose a threat to not only our planet but the whole solar system.

If you think black holes are the most dangerous objects in space, you’re wrong

The annual Draconid meteor shower has started to light up the night skies from October 6 and will remain visible till October 10. However, this year the meteor shower is expected to be fainter in comparison to the past years, as experts suggest that the 2025 meteor shower will be the strongest one to have ever occurred in history.

It's the season of comets it seems. As Comet A3 makes its way towards the Sun, another one is already on its way. The ATLAS survey in Hawaii discovered the new comet on September 27 and it hasn't been named yet.

October sky: After A3, super bright 'sungrazer' comet will be visible at noon

After more than 80,000 years, a comet will again become visible from Earth - in a treat for the sky gazers - during two separate phases in the next month. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which is also called Comet A3, will now orbit around the Sun after more than 80,000 years, according to a report published on Earth.

This week promises to bring with it several celestial wonders, one of them being Comet C/2023 A3. It is set to pass by Earth and will appear extremely bright. The comet, also known as Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, has been travelling towards the inner solar system and is right now going towards the sun.

A comet that was expected to die before reaching Earth has survived, astronomers say. It is now moving towards us and getting brighter by the day. Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was first spotted at the Purple Mountain Observatory's XuYi Station in China in 2023.

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick has once again caught on his camera a celestial wonder that will leave you in awe. He recently shared a timelapse of the Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS captured from the International Space Station.

Scientists have spotted a very strange activity in our Solar System. They observed that a comet was pushed out of the solar system by Saturn after a close encounter with the planet.

Comet C/2023 A3 or Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, which has been given the title of ‘comet of the century' is set to come very close to Earth in autumn 2024. When it approaches the Earth, it is likely to have a bright, beautiful and long tail as it passes by the Sun at a distance which is similar to the orbit of Mercury.

Delta Aquariids, the annual meteor showers that light up the sky from July to August, will peak on Tuesday (Jul 30). The celestial event in which two meteor showers - Delta Aquariids and Presteids - become clearly visible in the sky and eventually come together has been going on since July and will end in August.

In a new study, scientists have found that the crashing of an atmospheric comet in the atmosphere of Earth set the planet on fire nearly 12,000 years ago. The geological history of our planet is hidden in the layers of dirt and stone where lies the evidence of celestial impacts, ancient cultures and climatic shifts.

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is steadily brightening and developing a tail, according to reports. Following recent celestial events like the total solar eclipse and intense solar superstorms, this comet is predicted to become visible to the naked eye later this year.

Nasa's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (Pace) mission soared into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Thursday.

NASA launches new climate mission to study ocean, atmosphere

Almost two decades after the launch of NASA’s Stardust, the sample collected from the mission reveals some astonishingly new facts that no one expected. The minuscule sample collected from a known comet through the 1999 mission hides centuries of data in it, new findings suggest in the journal Geochemistry.

Astonishing! Sample from Wild 2 comet is a blueprint of the universe

With literally billions and billions of celestial bodies, and several things that can go 'wrong' or 'right', predicting anything about space with absolute accuracy is an extremely arduous task.

Will it, won't it? Comet 'exploding' every 15 days stops erupting 

Intuitive Machines, Inc. announced last month — in coordination with SpaceX — the launch of the Company’s IM-1 lunar mission, now targeted for a multi-day launch window that opens no earlier than mid-February this year.
