Scientists announced a strange object approaching Earth from the farthest region of the solar system, the Oort Cloud. At first glance, scientists believe it to be a massive comet.
Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein is 1000 times larger than the average comet and will pass by the Sun in 2031
Earth is Hot Right Now, but Not the Hottest (or the Coldest) Across the Solar System | Discover
If you didn't know, it is hot in North America right now. Really hot. Like melting-cables hot . The Pacific Northwest and Canada have been the hottest they have ever been.
Now, the surface temperature of planets and moons is really controlled by three things. The first is the amount of solar radiation (called insolation) it receives, which is more or less dictated by the distance from our Sun. Closer to the sun, hotter you might be.
Nightside Radio Could Help Reveal Details of Exoplanets in Distant Solar Systems
Rice University scientists have enhanced models that could detect magnetosphere activity on exoplanets. The models add data from nightside activity that could increase signals by at least an order of magnitude.
We can't detect them yet, but radio signals from distant solar systems could provide valuable information about the characteristics of their planets.
The Largest Comet Ever Found Is Making Its Move Into a Sky Near You - The New York Times
Astronomers spy rocky and icy wanderers of all shapes and sizes zipping past Earth all the time. But earlier this month, they were flabbergasted when they caught sight of the largest comet they'd ever seen.
One of its discoverers, Pedro Bernardinelli , an astrophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania, conservatively estimates the object's dusty, icy nucleus is between 62 and 125 miles long. That means this comet is as small as five Manhattan Islands, or it's larger than the Island of Hawaii.
Solar fire prevention hinges on data – pv magazine International
Nobody wants their PV systems to catch fire, but little is known about how to actually prevent such incidents.
PV system fires have a tendency to strike a nerve within the industry. While rare compared to other system disaster events, such occurrences always garner considerable attention.

A huge comet so large it's classified as a "minor planet" has been spotted beyond Uranus coming into the inner Solar System for a once-in 600,000-years visit.
What Is Solar Energy? - EcoWatch
For homeowners who are looking for clean energy solutions, solar power is utterly essential. But what is solar energy, exactly, and how does it work?
The Earth boasts many natural resources, but none as abundant as sunlight. As rays from the sun reach our planet, the energy they contain can be captured and used in a number of ways.

A Grain of Dust's Journey Through Newborn Solar System
A research team led by the University of Arizona has reconstructed in unprecedented detail the history of a dust grain that formed during the birth of the solar system more than 4.5 billion years ago.
The findings provide insights into the founding processes that underly the formation of planetary systems, many of which are still covered in mystery.
