Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS to Make Closest Approach to Earth on December 19
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 19, passing safely at a vast distance. Discovered by NASA-funded telescopes, the rare visitor offers scientists a valuable chance to study material formed around another star. Observations from space telescopes are expected to deepen understanding of interstellar objects.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Nears Earth on Dec. 19, Offering Rare Insights Into Cosmic Visitors
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will make its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 19. Observing the comet provides scientists a rare opportunity to study dust and gases from its icy nucleus and learn more about material forming around other stars, expanding understanding of interstellar objects while posing no threat to our planet.

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...

New Study Models How Interstellar Objects Could Approach and Impact Earth
A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no dan...

NASA Confirms Third Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Is a Natural Comet
NASA has confirmed that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet, not alien technology. The comet shows unusual carbon-dioxide and nickel vapours, offering a rare look at ancient material from another star. Its path is safe, staying about 1.8 AU from Earth during its Solar System passage.

Could Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Be More Than A Comet? What Harvard Astronomer Said
As the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS speeds through the solar system, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is keeping the possibility of it not being an ordinary comet alive.

Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Brightens Faster Than Expected, Surprising Scientists
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has brightened far faster than expected during its solar approach, surprising researchers. Scientists say the unusual surge may point to rare chemical traits from another star system. Further observations in 2025 may reveal why this cosmic visitor behaves differently from typical comets in our solar neighbourhood.

New Images of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Show a Giant Jet Shooting Toward the Sun
New telescope images show interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ejecting a giant jet of gas and dust toward the Sun. Scientists say the phenomenon confirms its natural cometary behaviour, offering clues about how such ancient interstellar visitors react to solar heat.

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.

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.
