Amateur and professional astronomers alike have been delighted by the spectacular display provided by Comet 2024 G3 (ATLAS) during mid and late January. After it made its closest pass to the sun (perihelion) on Jan. 13, the comet became very bright, and shortly thereafter developed a significant and strongly structured tail.

Mars mounds reveal clues to ancient watery past
(Pixabay)
Thousands of Martian mounds rich in clay minerals have been identified by researchers, suggesting that Mars' northern plains were once flooded with water, according to a study in Nature Geoscience. "The mounds preserve a near-complete history of water in this region within accessible, continuous rocky outcrops," said Joe McNeil, who led the research.

Effect of color randomization on p_T broadening of fast partons in turbulent quark-gluon plasma

We analyze the effect of the parton color randomization on p_T broadening
in the quark-gluon plasma with turbulent color fields. We calculate the
transport coefficient qhat for a simplified model of fluctuating color
fields in the form of alternating sequential transverse layers with homogenous
transverse chromomagnetic fields with random orientation in the
SU(3) group and gaussian distribution in the magnitude. Our numerical
results show that the color randomization can lead to a sizable reduction of
the turbulent contribution to qhat. The magnitude of the effect grows
with increasing ratio of the electric and magnetic screening masses.

2). Б.Г. Захаров
Jet quenching for hadron-tagged jets in pA collisions

We calculate the medium modification factor I_pA
for 5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions. We use the Monte-Carlo Glauber model to
determine the parameters of the quark-gluon plasma fireball in pA
jet events. Our calculations show that the jet quenching effect for I_pA
turns out to be rather small. We have found that the theoretical I_pA as
a function of the underlying event charged multiplicity density, within errors,
agrees with data from ALICE for 5.02 TeV p+Pb collisions. However,
the experimental errors are too large to draw a firm conclusion on the possible presence of jet quenching.

NASA honors fallen astronauts on 'Day of Remembrance'
(NASA)
NASA honored its fallen space explorers during its annual "Day of Remembrance" on Thursday (Jan. 23). The agency held events at a number of its facilities around the nation, including Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida and Johnson Space Center in Houston. The proceedings commemorated the lives lost in NASA's three space tragedies - the Apollo 1 fire in January 1967, the space shuttle Challenger explosion in January 1986 and the shuttle Columbia disaster in February 2003.

The "Starlink satellite train" has become a captivating sight for skywatchers, offering a glimpse of the future of global internet coverage. This dazzling spectacle occurs shortly after SpaceX launches a new batch of its Starlink satellites - part of the megaconstellation that provides high-speed internet worldwide. On clear nights, you may spot these satellites as they streak across the sky, resembling a string of bright, evenly spaced lights.

No matter what side of the galaxy you're on regarding your opinion of Paramount+'s first-ever direct-to-streaming "Star Trek" film, "Section 31," we can at least all agree (hopefully) that the fun cameo at the very end of the movie was unexpectedly amusing and does leave an opening for a potential sequel.
