Webb telescope spots water in rare comet

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:10:49 GMT

(CNN) — Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe a rare comet in our solar system, making a long-awaited scientific breakthrough and stumbling across another mystery at the same time.For the first time, water was detected in a main-belt comet, or a comet located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The discovery came after 15 years of attempts by astronomers using different observation methods.The space observatory detected water vapor around Comet Read, which suggests that water ice can be preserved in a warmer part of the solar system. A study detailing the findings was published Monday in the journal Nature.Comets typically exist in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, icy regions beyond the orbit of Neptune that can preserve some of the frozen materials left over from the formation of the solar system. The comets venture on long, oval-shaped orbits around the sun that can take thousands of years and have streaming tails that de...

Sleeping will be one of the challenges for astronauts on Mars missions

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:10:49 GMT

(CNN) — Astronauts have been adjusting to the challenges of sleeping in space for years — and the lessons learned from their zero gravity slumbers will ensure that one day the first crewed missions to Mars will have gotten enough rest before exploring the red planet.Rotating crews have spent an average of six months living and working aboard the International Space Station for nearly 23 years, and they struggle with sleep issues just like people on Earth. Some of the challenges are similar to those of shift workers or people with abnormal schedules, but others are more unique to the space environment.For example, most people don’t have to worry about floating away from their beds due to zero gravity. Don’t worry — astronauts use special restraints to keep them from floating through the space station while asleep.Two of the biggest challenges for astronauts include their sleep environment and the establishment of a natural sleep cycle.Sleeping in spaceAstronauts hav...

Italy’s top tribunal could also ask the Court of Appeal in Naples to reconsider their decision, said Conte.Cozzolino is currently under house arrest in Naples and will not be extradited to Belgium until the High Court gives its go-ahead.The Belgian authorities accuse the European lawmaker of accepting bribes from foreign countries, including Morocco, in exchange for favoring their interests in the EU assembly, and are pushing to interrogate him in Brussels.Judges in Naples put off a decision on whether to extradite Cozzolino five times, calling on their Belgian collea...
