The comet is gradually brightening, but it has recently faded slightly from its peak brightness. The latest reported magnitude is around 7.5 to 8 and improving (lower number means brighter). The magnitude might reach 4.5 to 5 at its brightest, but it will likely be close to the horizon.

The comet appears as a small green sphere due to the presence of diatomic carbon (C2) in its coma. Long-exposure images show a faint tail extending for more than two moon diameters.

If the comet survives its closest approach to the sun (perihelion) around May 1, 2025, it might become visible in the evening sky (dusk) during the first days of May. It will pass about 31 million miles from the sun, inside Mercury's orbit.

The tardigrade's extraordinary radiation resistance stems from
🔥 Betalains: Pigments that neutralize harmful molecules generated by radiation.
🔥 TRID1 Protein: Facilitates rapid DNA repair.
🔥 Increased Production of BCS1 and NDUFB8 Proteins: Aids in energy supply and protects cells.

According to a recent scientific discovery, a group of particles, called a quasiparticle, can behave differently depending on the direction it moves in. In one direction, it can act like it has no mass, and in the other direction, it can have mass. #science #discovery #quasiparticle #onedirection

A potential new cancer treatment has been derived from a caterpillar fungus!!
Cordyceps militaris, a parasitic fungus that infects caterpillars, produces a chemical called cordycepin. Cordycepin has shown promise in slowing down the growth of cancer cells in various studies.
