Researchers propose that Eilmer of Malmesbury, a medieval monk, may have identified the periodic nature of Halley's Comet nearly 700 years before Edmond Halley. Eilmer reportedly recognized the comet seen in 1066 as the same one observed in 989, challenging the traditional attribution of the comet's discovery to Halley. Comets in the medieval period were often viewed as ominous signs linked to war and royal deaths, adding historical context to the 1066 event depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. This discovery has sparked debate among scholars about whether the comet should be renamed to acknowledge Eilmer's contribution.

A new lunar race is emerging between the United States and China, focused on establishing sustainable human presence on the Moon. Unlike the 20th-century space race, current efforts prioritize developing technologies for long-term habitation, including extracting oxygen from lunar soil to support life and fuel production. This capability is seen as critical for enabling extended missions and future exploration of Mars. The Moon is being positioned as a testing ground for innovations that will facilitate deeper space travel, with both nations investing heavily in research and infrastructure.
