## Resource

An interstellar comet from a completely foreign star system is giving astronomers a rare glimpse into alien planetary chemistry, while the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a planetary duo 190 light-years away that defies everything we know about how solar systems form. Back on Earth, a nearly 100-year-old unsolved mystery left behind by Erwin Schrödinger about how humans perceive color has finally been cracked using modern geometry. Researchers have also identified key proteins that help Parkinson's disease spread through the brain, opening promising new doors for treatment. Plus, the eerie science behind why some buildings feel haunted, why beavers might be secret climate heroes, and whether parrots are actually calling each other by name.
