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.

Inside Skinwalker Ranch, a paranormal hotbed of UFO research

Locals say the ranch has been plagued by strange creatures and cattle mutilations. It's also been used for government UFO research. So what's really happening there? Skinwalker Ranch has a long and sordid history well cataloged by researcher Ryan Skinner. The Uintah Basin has always been home to strange tales of odd lights, sounds and visions. Sightings of strange creatures and UFOs continued in the area. Cows were mutilated with surgical precision in broad daylight and that their family was hunted by strange aerial objects and floating orbs of light. They heard disembodied voices, experienced poltergeist activity, witnessed horrible monsters emerging from portals, and claimed they encountered a wolf that, when shot several times by a high powered rifle at point blank range, did not die. Over the past several years, the new owner and his staff have completely revamped the ranch, installing surveillance systems and scientific equipment all over in order to try to ...

It Rains Liquid Iron On This Planet

Scientists detect an exotic planet in another solar system where the weather forecast is always dire - a 100 percent chance of the most outrageous rain imaginable, with droplets of scaldingly hot liquid iron. Researchers using the ESPRESSO instrument on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile recently detected a super-heated exoplanet located 640 light years from Earth. Dubbed WASP-76b, the planet is nearly twice the size of Jupiter and orbits a star almost twice the size as the sun.
