Death of a Comet
#1
Yesterday comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) plunged into the Sun. Here's is a video:

Quote:Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) is no more.

On Monday (Oct. 28), the comet evaporated as it was heading toward perihelion, the closest point to the sun in its orbit. There were earlier hopes that the comet, officially designated C/2024 S1 (ATLAS), could become a "Halloween treat" visible to the naked eye, but these were ultimately just wishful thinking; astronomers had already begun observing the cosmic snowball beginning to disintegrate earlier this month.

I followed the Science, and all I found was the Money.
