Incoming Comet Could Be Alien Probe, Harvard Professor Says; Other Experts Aren't Buying It
A cosmic visitor is stirring up an earthly debate. A Harvard University astrophysicist has suggested the incoming interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could be an alien probe.

Super Sturgeon Moon Will Rise With Biggest, Brightest Glow Of Summer: Here's Timing
The Full Sturgeon Moon is about to crest the eastern horizon swelling into one of 2025’s brightest and largest supermoons. Unlike an ordinary full moon, a supermoon occurs when our satellite reaches or nears perigee — its closest orbital point to Earth — making it appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than when it hangs at apogee. This month’s lunar show peaks precisely at 3:55 a.m. EDT on Saturday, Aug. 9, but astronomers say the moon will seem full and strikingly luminous from Thursday evening, Aug. 7 through early Monday, Aug. 11.
