This brief article highlights the key takeaways from studying the 3I/ATLAS comet and what it means for space exploration moving forward.

Albert A. Michelson

This video in the Icons of Spectroscopy series highlights the life and scientific achievements of Albert A. Michelson, the first American Nobel Laureate in the sciences. It traces his journey from his early years in the American West and his education at the U.S. Naval Academy to his groundbreaking experiments measuring the speed of light. We explore his invention of the Michelson interferometer, its role in the famous Michelson–Morley experiment, and its lasting influence on modern optical and spectroscopic methods, including astronomy.
