ESA’s ExoMars Orbiter Captures Closest Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captured the closest-ever images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passed Mars at 130,000 mph. The faint object revealed a gas coma but no tail. Believed to be billions of years older than our Solar System, the comet will exit after nearing Jupiter in 2026.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS May Originate from Milky Way’s Hidden Frontier, New Study Suggests
A new study proposes that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may have originated in the thick disk region of the Milky Way, a lesser-known frontier beyond the spiral arms. Observations of its composition and trajectory support this possibility. Detailed telescopic messages from this visitor may help unravel the structure and evolution of our galaxy.

Perseverance Spots Possible Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Over Martian Sky
A mysterious streak seen by NASA’s Perseverance rover over Mars may be comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object flying past the planet in early October. Though unconfirmed, the sighting aligns with its predicted path, raising excitement over a possible first observation of an interstellar comet from another world.

Mars and Jupiter Probes Set to Monitor Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS During Its Sun Approach This Month
The European Space Agency (ESA) is keeping a close eye on the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS on its journey through the solar system. A spacecraft, specially designed for the Jupiter and Mars missions, will monitor the interstellar comet. Notably, this is the third known interstellar object that has marked its way through the solar system and is conti...

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.

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.
