Green Comet C/2024 E1 Brightens Near Mars as Scientists Forecast a Permanent Exit From the Solar System
Astronomers are closely tracking the bright green comet C/2024 E1 as it approaches Earth and prepares for a future escape from the solar system. Originating from the distant Oort Cloud, the city-sized comet is on a hyperbolic path and is expected to be permanently ejected after its close solar encounter, similar to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.

Scientists Study Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, Seeking Clues to Early Star System Formation
Comet 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar visitor from beyond the solar system, is putting on a striking celestial show as it nears Earth. After passing perihelion in October, the comet brightened nearly tenfold and shifted from red to green due to glowing carbon molecules. Tracked closely by astronomers worldwide, this ancient object offers a unique opp...
