ESA’s Mars orbiters have observed comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar comet ever discovered. The faint, distant object revealed a glowing coma as it was heated by the Sun. Researchers are ...
A new analysis of our solar system’s interstellar interloper, 3I/ATLAS, reveals that it’s spewing huge amounts of water — and astronomers can’t immediately explain why. The object, which is widely ...
A few days ago, an inscrutable interstellar interloper made its closest approach to Mars, where a fleet of international spacecraft seek to unravel the red planet’s ancient mysteries. Several of the ...
The mystery behind the famous 1977 “Wow!” signal has gained renewed attention after a Harvard astronomer proposed that the newly observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be linked to the event. The ...
An intriguing interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS is, as of now, on the opposite side of the sun from Earth – making it impossible to observe from the ground. As 3I/ATLAS warps and grows the closer ...
The comet is only the third interstellar object recorded in the solar system. Astronomers just caught a rare glimpse of an interstellar comet as it zoomed past Mars. Images of the object, dubbed ...
