Comet 3I/ATLAS Larger Than Expected, Could Be Alien Probe: Astrophysicist
Harvard researchers said that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be much larger than initially thought and could potentially harbour alien technology.

Mystery Green Glow: Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Puzzles Scientists With Change In Colour
3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) at a distance of 675 million kilometres from the Sun.

Scientists Propose Space Missions to Chase Down Interstellar Comets
A Southwest Research Institute study reveals that chasing interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS is achievable with current rockets and instruments. Such missions could collect data on comet nuclei and comae, providing clues to the formation of other star systems. International collaborations make these rare, high-value missions increasingly realistic.

NASA's Hubble Captures Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Ahead of Close Mars Flyby
On October 3, 2025, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will pass just 30 million km from Mars — nine times closer than from Earth. ESA’s Mars Express and TGO, along with NASA and China’s orbiters, will attempt to image its coma, analyze gases, and study this rare visitor from beyond the solar system.

James Webb Detects Carbon Dioxide–Dominated Coma in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object detected in our solar system. Its coma is unusually rich in carbon dioxide with little water or carbon monoxide, suggesting a COâ‚‚-rich core or an insulating crust. Findings raise new questions about its cosmic origin.

Powerful Space Telescope Observes Interstellar Object, Finds CO2 And Water
NASA explained that the object has been categorised as interstellar because of the hyperbolic shape of its orbital path.

NASA Shares New Details About Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS That's Hurtling Towards Earth
Hubble also captured a dust plume ejected from the Sun-warmed side of the comet and a hint of a dust tail streaming away from the nucleus.

Hubble Delivers Best View Yet of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
Hubble has captured its sharpest image of 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar comet speeding through the solar system at 130,000 mph. The view reveals a dust-filled coma, a faint tail, and activity similar to native comets. Astronomers aim to study its composition before it vanishes forever, offering insight into objects formed around other stars.

Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb Suggests Interstellar Object Could Be Alien Probe
A senior Harvard astronomer has reignited speculation about the origins of a vast interstellar object hurtling through the solar system. He has suggested that it might be an engineered probe instead of a natural phenomenon.

Hubble Takes Best Picture Yet Of Comet From Another Solar System
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the best picture yet of a high-speed comet visiting our solar system from another star.
