The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provided astronomers with their best look yet at an interstellar visitor — Comet 2I/Borisov — which is believed to have arrived here from another planetary system elsewhere in our galaxy.

In this issue we are featuring the innovative first smart telescope in the world, the eVscope by Unistellar. We provide product review that is not yet even present in other Astronomy magazines out there. We also interview Chief Science Officer of Unistellar, Dr. Franck Marchis.

Globular star clusters are huge spheres of tens of thousands of stars that orbit most galaxies.
They are among the oldest known stellar systems in the Universe and date back to near the beginning of galaxy growth and evolution. More than 150 are currently known to belong to our Milky Way Galaxy.

A comet that may coming from outside our solar system has been discovered. If confirmed, this would be the second interstellar object ever identified, with the first one being 'Oumuamua, found in 2017.

Twenty new moons have been found around Saturn, giving the ringed planet a total of 82 and that beats Jupiter and its 79 moons.
“It was fun to find that Saturn is the true moon king,” said astronomer Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science.

In a major first, scientists have detected water vapor and possibly even liquid water clouds that rain in the atmosphere of a strange exoplanet that lies in the habitable zone of its host star.
