2I/Borisov - hereafter 2I - is the first visibly active interstellar comet observed in the solar system, allowing us for the first time to sample the composition of a building block from another system. We report on the monitoring of 2I with UVES, the high resolution optical spectrograph of the ESO Very Large Telescope at Paranal, during four months from November 15, 2019 to March 16, 2020. Our goal is to characterize the activity and composition of 2I with respect to solar system comets.

Hamstead Soundworks aims to open up a solar system of high-gain tones with all-new Comet:
Artisan effects pedal specialist Hamstead Soundworks has unveiled the Comet: Interstellar Driver – a versatile, meticulously voiced overdrive pedal that seeks to open up a kaleidoscope of high-gain sounds.
Sporting a sleek, minimalist black chassis, the compact Comet vows to deliver everything from boutique-sounding drives to heavy fuzz tones by way of a versatile circuit-changing toggle switch and two-band EQ.
The toggle switch in question flicks between two settings, DRV>EQ and EQ>DRV, which change both the order of the drive and EQ circuits as well as the type of clipping and gain structure circuitry.
How To Search the Chemical Makeup of Exoplanet Atmospheres for Hints at Their History - Universe
Author’s note – this article was written with Dr. Vincent Kofman, a scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and the lead author on the research it discusses.
Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in the recent decades. Planet hunters like TESS and Kepler , as well as numerous ground-based efforts, have pushed the field and we are starting to get a total number of planets that will allow us to perform effective statistical analysis on some of them.
6 DIY Solar Panel Projects You Can Start Today • Thumbwind
