Green comet likely to come closest to Earth for 1st time since the Stone Age | Oneindia News *Space
A comet that will shoot past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years could be visible to the naked eye.
The comet is expected to pass nearest to Earth on February 1 and will be easy to spot with a good pair of binoculars or even with the naked eye, provided the sky is not too illuminated by city lights or the Moon.
Watch as the United States achieves a monumental milestone in space exploration with the successful landing of the Odysseus spacecraft on the lunar surface. After more than half a century, America returns to the Moon, paving the way for future astronaut missions and unlocking new frontiers in our understanding of the cosmos. Join us as we witness history in the making.

Researchers Use AI , to Identify Strange Reflective , 'Anomalies' on the Moon.
'Vice' reports that scientists have
uncovered strange, reflective "anomalies"
on the surface of the moon.
Research published in the 'Journal of Geophysical
Research - Planets' stems from a series of images captured
by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.
Using artificial intelligence, researchers were able
to analyze over a million images to discover
approximately 130,000 of these unexplained anomalies.
Normally, lunar dust is very
porous and reflects a lot of light
back in the direction of illumination, Marcel Hess, Image analyst from the
Technische Universität Dortmund, via 'Vice'.
However, when the dust is
compacted, the overall brightness
usually increases. This is not the case
with the observed dust-covered rocks, Marcel Hess, Image analyst from the
Technische Universität Dortmund, via 'Vice'.
The team believes the strangely reflective rocks
were the result of the impact that formed the
craters near where the rocks were found.
The authors of the study believe a number of factors
could explain the rocks' reflective quality, including
the microscopic structure of the rocks themselves.
They theorize that the static properties of
a specific kind of lunar dust or the moon's
magnetic fields could also play a role.
'Vice' reports that the Reiner Gamma region,
where the anomalous rocks were discovered,
is a known hotspot for magnetic activity.
Researchers hope that NASA's upcoming Lunar Vertex
mission, which will collect samples from the
Reimer Gamma region, will help unravel the mystery.
