Auburn professor Bodewits’ work included in NASA’s Hubble timeline Published: February 17, 2021 Decrease Font Size Font Size Increase Font Size Article body NASA recently included the work of Dennis Bodewits—an associate professor in Auburn University’s Department of Physics in the College of Sciences and Mathematics—in a timeline highlighting the history of the revolutionary Hubble Space Telescope. Bodewits used the telescope to study the composition of Comet 2I/Borisov, the first interstellar comet to pass through our solar system, and his findings—originally published in an April 20, 2020, article—were included as an historic highlight in the interactive Hubble History Timeline. Bodewits’ work helped detail the comet’s unusual chemical makeup, which includes an abundance of carbon monoxide.
