El cometa Nishimura and a pending partial solar eclipse

NASAs New Horizons spacecraft—the fastest object ever launched—will now transit to becoming a mission to study the effect of the sun at the edges of the solar system.

The event took place right after Comet Nishimura successfully lived through its closest approach to the Sun amid fears that it might burn up.

After surviving its closest approach to the sun, Comet Nishimura was buffeted by a possible coronal mass ejection that briefly blew its tail away. The rare event was captured by a NASA spacecraft.

Astronomers are making strides in better understanding the threat posed from potentially Earth-impacting Oort Cloud comets.

Among the billions of galaxies across space, humans have only physically traveled an imperceptibly small fraction.

Comet Nishimura has survived its closest approach to the sun and will brighten over the next week. But can we see it?

Comet Nishimura, which was only discovered in August, has survived its closest approach to the sun and will brighten over the next week. But is it still visible from Earth?
