Suspected Interstellar comet Borisov is from beyond our solar system and it contains cyanide gas


A comet spotted at the end of August is officially an interstellar object, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

The verdict means that the object, provisionally called Comet C/2019, is now dubbed Borisov, with the prefix marking that the comet is the second interstellar object scientists have identified to date; the first was Oumuamua, which was first spotted in October 2017.

Prof. Fitzsimmons and his colleagues used the 4.2meter WHT and the Intermediate-dispersion Spectrograph and Imaging System (ISIS) located at the ESO’s La Palma Observatory to observe the comet. What they observed was a thin cloud that showed a strong signal from cyanogen gas (CN) – in other words, a toxic vapor that indicated the presence of cyanide.

Watch bizarre-looking Sea Creature from the Deep caught in Texas

An angler in Texas snagged a bizarre-looking sea creature that turned out to be a venomous denizen of the deep. The strange catch was reportedly made by Alyssa Ramirez while she and her mother were fishing on a pier in the coastal city of Port Isabel. Adding an almost alien-like element to the oddity's appearance, it was still alive when Ramirez reeled it in and, as such, was undulating in a mesmerizing fashion on the pier, She decided to record footage of the creature and send it off to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in the hopes that they could identify it.
