Largest known comet has been traveling for millions of years NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/J. da Silva (Sp J. da Silva/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA This illustration shows Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein as it might look in the outer solar system. By Ashley Strickland, CNN Astronomers have discovered the largest known comet, and it’s about a thousand times more massive than others. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, so named because it was found by University of Pennsylvania department of physics and astronomy graduate student Pedro Bernardinelli and Professor Gary Bernstein, is between 62 to 124 miles (100 to 200 kilome...

 E-Mail BROOKLYN, New York, Weekday, Month xx, 2021 - The remarkable structural properties of the Venus' flower basket sponge (E. aspergillum) might seem fathoms removed from human-engineered structures. However, insights into how the organism's latticework of holes and ridges influences the hydrodynamics of seawater in its vicinity could lead to advanced designs for buildings, bridges, marine vehicles and aircraft, and anything that must respond safely to forces imposed by the flow of air or water. While past research has investigated the structure of the sponge, there have been few studies...

Giant comet found in outer solar system The discovery of the comet estimated to 100-200 kilometers across was made by Penn researchers following a comprehensive search of data from the Dark Energy Survey. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is the most distant comet ever discovered and possibly the largest seen in modern times. Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein (circled) is estimated to be about 1000 times more massive than a typical comet, making it arguably the largest comet discovered in modern times. It was discovered using images for the Dark Energy Su...

Giant Comet Found in Outer Solar System by Dark Energy Survey Estimated to be 100–200 kilometers across, the unusual wandering body will make its closest approach to the Sun in 2031 Dark Energy Survey/DOE/FNAL/DECam/CTIO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/P.
