Comet With 500,000 Miles Long Tail Will Fly by Earth and You Will Be Able to See It

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Science /

Amateur astronomers may very soon be able to see a comet initially spotted in 2017. Comet C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), abridged as K2 for brief, was once the most distant active comet ever before pinpointed, a difference it recently ceded to the mega comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, found out last year. However, even without a superlative, K2 is […]

Does the Brain Learn in the Same Manner that Machines Learn?

Applied Science, Neuroscience, Science /

Identifying how neural activity changes with learning is anything but black and white. Recently, some have presumed that learning in the brain, or biological learning, may be visualized in terms of optimization, which is how learning happens in artificial networks like computers or robots. A new approaches piece co-authored by Carnegie Mellon University and University

Astronomers Find a Multiplanet System Nearby

Astronomy, Planetary Science, Science /

MIT astronomers have discovered a new multiplanet system that exists just 10 parsecs, or approximately 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own. The star at the system’s heart likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets. Credit: MIT News, with TESS Satellite figure courtesy of NASA.
