Who discovered 3I/ATLAS? | Wildfire smoke could change Earth's climate Created for ceo.studentlike.spuniv@blogger.com | Web Version   December 17, 2025 FOLLOW US FOLLOW US   Something amazing every day SIGN UP ⋅   WEBSITE   The Launchpad Spielberg debuts first trailer for "Disclosure Day" The world has been waiting for Spielberg's next big UFO film as the first trailer immediately went viral. With John Williams doing the score and David Koepp (screenwriter for "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic Park: The Lost World," and "War of the Worlds") along with a star-studded cast, this film is sure to be a hit when it releases next summer.  Other headlines for today include NASA's MAVEN spacecraft still remains radio silent and is now spinning, NASA's Parker Solar Probe catches solar wind changing direction and private space company Vast asking for research proposals for its upcoming private space station.  There's one other story I want to highlight in today's newsletter and that is diving into Larry Denneau's story, the astronomer who helped develop the software that detected comet 3I/ATLAS. I had the honor of interviewing Denneau about his work and the night he clicked "submit" on the comet's measurements, only to realize later it was something truly special. I hope you enjoy!  We have all that and more for your daily read.  Keep looking up, Kenna Content Manager, Space.com Spielberg's UFO film 'Disclosure Day' debuts trailer Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor star in Universal Pictures' eerie alien invasion project coming next summer.
