Meteor Showers May One Day Help Protect Humanity!

A long-period comet called 2001 RX14 (Linear) turned up in images captured in 2002 by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope in New Mexico.
For centuries, comets have captured our imagination. Across history they have been the harbingers of doom, inspired artists and fascinated astronomers. These icy remnants of the formation of the Solar System hold secrets to help us understand the events nearly 5 billion years ago. But before these secrets can be revealed, comets have to be studied and to study them they need to be found. A team of researchers have developed a technique to hunt down comets based upon data from meteor showers and to assess if they pose any threat to us here on Earth!

The universe’s largest water reservoir, 140 trillion times the water in Earth's oceans, found near a supermassive black hole.
The universe’s largest water reservoir, 140 trillion times the water in Earth's oceans, found near a supermassive black hole: Astronomers have discovered an enormous reservoir of water vapor near the quasar APM 08279+5255, located over 12 billion light-years away. This cosmic water supply contains 140 trillion times the water found in Earth’s oceans and surrounds a supermassive black hole 20 billion times the mass of our Sun. The quasar, which radiates energy equivalent to a thousand trillion suns, offers a glimpse into the conditions of the early universe. The discovery highlights the presence of water vapor billions of years ago, suggesting that life’s building blocks have existed for much of the universe’s history. The region around the quasar is far denser and warmer than typical galactic environments, providing key insights into how galaxies, black holes, and stars formed and evolved. This breakthrough was achieved using advanced telescopes in Hawaii, California, and France, offering an extraordinary window into the cosmos’ earliest chapters.
