Three Perimeter Institute researchers have a new idea about what might have come before the big bang. It’s a bit perplexing, but it is grounded in sound mathematics, testable,…

A green comet that has just been discovered is going to fly past our Pale Blue Dot and could possibly be seen with the unaided eye.
