@astro_alexandra: NASA saw a comet slow down and reverse its spin #space #Astronomy #Science #TikTokLearningCampaign

VENUS :

it done put that thang down, flipped it and reversed it

𖣂 ℭ𝔢𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔱𝔢 𖣂 :

Never stop what you do Alexandra. I'm having a hard time reading people who believe the Artemis II mission is fake 😭 stay curious

egan706 :

So it farted itself in to a reverse orbit? Cool!

Ghost of Medusa :

Never seen a comet fart itself into a reverse orbit. What a time to be alive.

Dartholomew :

The comet forgot something and had to go back

Taylor :

He came. He saw. And he went nawwww.

MikeAndIke13 :

we really need better names for comets, stars, planets, etc... Anything would be better than 41P. where is the creativity scientists?

Mar has café 🇻🇪🛢️ :

The comet as it approached the sun

stepthorne76 :

These comments have a shocking lack of Missy Elliott lyrics.

Pallendrome :

we got gassy comets in 2026?!?😂

Jeremy 🇺🇸 :

Can’t wait for everyone to say it’s an alien egg or something

Bugarino Bugaroo🌎🛰 :

its such a cool theory but its actually terrifying that they just have no real clue what makes it do that just best guesses, evwn if the guess is correct it reminds me how little we know about whats out there😅😭

~TheFirstUnicorn :

First com(m)e(n)t!

I_Spaced_Out :

Listen we are all spiraling out of control, so I won't judge.

jonnyb83a :

so its been listening to Missy Elliott a lot and it put its thing down, flipped it, and reversed it

cardboardjellyfish :

It saw what’s been happening on earth and decided against visiting

The comet, probably:

Elis🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🇲🇽 :

"incase we need more science news" incase... INCASE??? Yes... always

mandarcalrissian :

Dragon Egg is hatching... Space Dragons!!!!!

faaavu :

Earth is such a mess, even the commet was like “nah! the vibes are off” and made a u-ey 😭

ragincajun_ :

That’s wild! I figured something to do with a magnetic field changed its rotation. Was not expecting water jets but it makes total sense. What a wild universe we live in… I wonder if scientists ever thought about using water like that to propel a satellite or something. Like let the tank freeze, rotate it towards the sun, and let a valve open to expel the gasses after it heats up. Cool theory I think, but I’m sure it’s not plausible

quiescentalef :

Unrelated but I love your nails

Rye :

probably the astrophange...

balleronibolonga :

Wes :

why would that happen now, after 1500 years of coming close to the sun?
