Just as the dinosaurs didn’t disappear but rather evolved into birds, cosmic dinosaurs in the form of the JWST’s Little Red Dots may fade away completely.

After nearly 30 years, NASA realized this near-Earth asteroid is actually a comet. The discovery may help us defend the planet some day

Astronomers discovered that a near-Earth asteroid is actually a comet that could help scientists identify more hidden comets and improve planetary defense.
