Harvard Study Identifies Eight Long-COVID Paths as 20 Million Americans Still Report Symptoms
Harvard Medical School researchers have mapped eight distinct long-term symptom pathways for long COVID, offering the most detailed classification yet of how the condition progresses among patients infected during the Omicron era. The findings, published Monday in Nature Communications, stem from an NIH-funded study that tracked nearly 3,700 adults and comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly 20 million Americans continue to experience lingering symptoms.

NASA Faces Scrutiny as Blurry 3I/ATLAS Images Trail Sharper Amateur Photos
NASA is defending the quality of its newly released HiRISE images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS after a wave of sharper amateur photographs began circulating online, prompting comparisons that place public expectations and scientific priorities in direct conflict.

Avi Loeb Accuses NASA of 'Deceptive' 3I/ATLAS Images as Interstellar Object Nears Earth Flyby
NASA's latest release of imagery for interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has triggered new scientific and public scrutiny as the comet-like visitor moves toward its mid-December flyby of Earth. The agency's 19 November publication of HiRISE camera data, taken from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, prompted immediate criticism from Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, whose remarks have revived debate over whether the object's unusual trajectory and physical behavior warrant further examination for possible non-natural origins.

NASA’s 3I/ATLAS Images Trigger Public Backlash as Scientists Cite 12 Anomalies in Interstellar Visitor
NASA's newly released imagery of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has triggered a wave of public skepticism and scientific criticism, as high-resolution photographs expected to shed light on the third known interstellar object instead prompted a backlash over their lack of clarity.

NASA Press Silence on 3I/ATLAS Anomalies Fuels Debate as Scientists Warn of Rising Cosmic-Ray Exposure
NASA's restrained briefing on interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has intensified scrutiny from scientists and space analysts, as renewed attention shifts not only to the comet's unexplained features but also to evidence that the solar system is crossing into a denser region of the Local Interstellar Cloud. With agencies such as the U.S. Space Force highlighting shifting radiation conditions around Earth, researchers argue that the two developments may carry implications far beyond a single celestial object.

New 3I/ATLAS Data Reveals Unusual CO₂ Levels as ISRO, NASA Capture Interstellar Comet in Historic Detail
ISRO and NASA have released the most detailed images to date of 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object to pass through Earth's solar system, giving researchers a rare opportunity to study a comet originating from beyond the Sun's gravitational influence. The new data-drawn from telescopes in India and a suite of U.S. spacecraft orbiting Mars and transiting the outer solar system-captured the comet as it moved deeper into the inner solar system in late 2025.

ISS Broadcast Cut Fuels Online Claims of UFO Flyby, Analysts Cite Routine Signal Loss
A NASA livestream from the International Space Station ignited fresh online speculation this week after viewers noticed clusters of bright lights moving beneath the ISS camera moments before the feed abruptly switched angles and briefly cut out.

New NASA Photos Reveal Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS as Object Speeds Toward 167 Million-Mile Earth Flyby
NASA unveiled a new set of images this week capturing interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it moves deeper into the inner solar system, providing the clearest view yet of only the third confirmed visitor from another star system. The release follows delays caused by the government shutdown, which temporarily halted processing and publication across multiple federal science agencies.

Italian Observatory Livestream Confirms 3I/ATLAS as Comet, Quelling Online Speculation
An Italian observatory broadcast some of the clearest public images yet of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, confirming the rare visitor's cometary identity and putting an end to weeks of speculation online. The 40-minute livestream, aired on Nov. 19 by Italy's Virtual Telescope Project, displayed a glowing nucleus, a surrounding coma and a faint dust tail-features that astronomers say leave no ambiguity about the object's nature.
