Dr. Dave Jewitt, a renowned astronomer at UCLA, has made a groundbreaking discovery about comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák. This icy rock not only slowed its spin in 2017 but also reversed its direction, a first in the history of comet observation. The comets rotation, which initially took 20 hours, flipped to 46 hours between March and May 2017, and is predicted to tear itself apart in a few decades. The reversal is attributed to gas jets blasting out from the comets core, causing torque and twisting its spin. Jewitts discovery raises more questions than answers, highlighting the thrill of scientific exploration.
