An interstellar comet just swept past Mars — and China's Tianwen-1 orbiter was watching.

From nearly 29 million km away, it caught 3I/ATLAS trailing a glowing coma and tail: material born in another star system, only the third such visitor we've ever seen.

@ScienceAlert The deeper reason the field leans on existing drugs: regulators don't recognise ageing itself as a treatable condition, so there's no approval pathway for an "anti-ageing" drug. Repurposing sidesteps that entirely — the safety data already exists.

The 2026 World Cup is the most heavily-sensored tournament in history.

From FIFA's smart ball to the FAs' performance vests, here's the tech quietly running the show 🧵⚽📡

On this planet, dawn and dusk are two different worlds.

JWST found that the ultra-hot WASP-121 b has a morning and an evening with different temperatures — and even different chemistry. The clearest look yet at weather on an alien world.

@Rainmaker1973 The Qiantang bore — locals call it the Silver Dragon — is the world's largest, reaching up to 9 m high and ~40 km/h. Hangzhou Bay's funnel shape squeezes the incoming tide into a wall of water. People have gathered to watch it for over 2,000 years.

@SpaceX The Transporter program has now flown well over 1,000 small payloads since 2021. Rideshare quietly turned orbital access from a nine-figure barrier into something a university lab can budget for. 🛰️

@konstructivizm A nice bonus for observers: M81 and its neighbor M82 fit in the same binocular field, and the contrast is striking — a serene grand-design spiral beside the ragged starburst it helped ignite. The light arriving tonight left before humans existed. ✨

An Oxford physicist says we can build an antigravity machine.
Not by breaking physics — by using physics correctly. What seems impossible is just a matter of understanding spacetime the right way.
The future might be weirder than we thought. 🌌⚛️

Becoming a dad rewires your brain in the same areas as motherhood.
Fathers show changes in neural structure and function — but the science of paternal brain plasticity is far less studied than maternal changes.
Parenthood is a neurological transformation. 🧠👨‍👧‍👦

Scientists just discovered a serum that could let humans regrow fingers and limbs.
The key to regeneration has been inside your body all along — new research is finally learning how to unlock it.
We're one step closer to sci-fi medicine. 🧬✨

Mars gets all the hype, but NASA scientists are looking further out.

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is emerging as the ultimate off-world resource hub. It's the only satellite with an atmosphere—and it’s 50% bigger than Earth’s.

Why Titan is our future 🧵👇

@realDonaldTrump What are you babbling about?

A Chinese company just built a self-driving toilet that comes to you.
It's designed for elderly care and accessibility — navigating your home autonomously to help those with mobility issues.
Sometimes the future is exactly as weird as it sounds. 🤖🚽

Something in the deep ocean made a sound so powerful it registered on sensors thousands of miles apart.
It took 5 years to find the source.
One of the ocean's greatest mysteries. 🌊🔊

Scientists are building aircraft to artificially cool the planet.
These uncrewed planes will fly 20 kilometers up, releasing materials that reflect sunlight back into space — mimicking what volcanoes do naturally.
We're literally trying to hack the atmosphere. 🛸🌍

Europe's commercial space program just got delayed again.
Isar Aerospace has scrubbed another launch of their Spectrum rocket after detecting anomalies in the fluid systems.
Setbacks are part of the journey. Getting it right matters more than getting it fast. 🚀❄️

Good news — we have extra time before the Sun ends life on Earth.
New research suggests life has about a billion years longer than previously thought before the Sun becomes a red giant and swallows us whole.
Plenty of time to finish that Spanish lesson on Duolingo. 🌍☀️

Time doesn't exist everywhere in the universe.

New research shows time only exists where space is curved enough to support it — meaning our expanding universe is slowly losing its grip on time itself.

Let that sink in. ⏳🌌

Scientists just created nuclear fireballs in a lab — on purpose.
When nuclear accidents happen, having accurate fallout models is the difference between life and death. This is how they test them.
Science solving real-world problems. 🔥⚛️

Every World Cup camera angle you see is the solution to a maths problem.
Mathematicians have spent decades figuring out how to cover every corner of a space — but football adds moving players, blocked views and constant chaos.
The geometry of the beautiful game. ⚽📐
