🔬 An Interstellar Comet Just Arrived — And Its Water Shouldn't Exist

About this episode

The episode discusses a newly arrived interstellar comet, its unique water, and various scientific discoveries related to drugs, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena.

A rogue comet from outside our solar system is carrying water unlike anything scientists have ever seen, raising urgent questions about what's out there beyond our cosmic neighborhood. Researchers have also uncovered a startling link between a common constipation drug and kidney protection, thanks to a gut bacteria connection nobody saw coming. A massive galaxy spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has defied all models by showing zero rotation just two billion years after the Big Bang. New gravitational wave data is reshaping how scientists think the universe's largest black holes grow — and the answer involves a violent chain of cosmic collisions. Plus, a Brazilian rainforest tree, eggs and Alzheimer's risk, and a planetary system that should be impossible. Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/ Love Science?
