Largest-Ever Comet, C/2014 UN271, Emits Carbon Monoxide Jets
Astronomers using the ALMA telescope have discovered that comet C/2014 UN271, located near Neptune, is 85 miles across—more than 10 times larger than any known comet—and emits carbon monoxide gas jets; this discovery offers unique insights into cometary evolution and the early solar system.

Unexpected Spiral Structure Discovered in Oort Cloud
While preparing a planetarium show at the American Museum of Natural History, scientists unexpectedly discovered a spiral structure within the Oort Cloud, challenging previous assumptions about its shape and suggesting a more complex structure composed of billions of comets.

Spiral Structure Discovered in Oort Cloud Challenges Existing Models
A spiral structure has been unexpectedly discovered within the Oort Cloud, challenging the long-held belief of its spherical shape; this discovery, made during a planetarium show's preproduction, is based on simulations that show the galactic tide twisting the orbits of icy bodies in the inner Oort ...

Did Our Sun Once Have a Twin?
Recent research suggests our sun may have had a binary companion star in the past, which may have influenced the formation and structure of our solar system; however, this companion has since disappeared, leaving our sun as a solitary star.
