NASA recently included the work of Dennis Bodewits an associate professor in Auburn University’s Department of Physics in the College of Sciences and Mathematics in a timeline highlighting the history of the revolutionary Hubble Space Telescope.
Bodewits used the telescope to study the composition of Comet 2I/Borisov, the first interstellar comet to pass through our solar system, and his findings originally published in an April 20, 2020, article were included as an historic highlight in the interactive Hubble History Timeline. Bodewits’ work helped detail the comet’s unusual chemical makeup, which includes an abundance of carbon monoxide.
