NASA Observes Rare Sungrazer Comet Disintegration Near the Sun
- Sunday April 19, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA spacecraft observed C/2026 A1 (MAPS) disintegrate near the Sun. The sungrazer’s destruction provides valuable insights into comet structure, solar forces, and the early solar system.

NASA Detects Comet That Slowed Down And Began Spinning In The Opposite Direction
- Friday March 27, 2026
- Science | Edited by Astitva Raj
Scientists believe it originated in the Kuiper Belt. Later, due to Jupiter's gravitational influence, it settled into its current orbit.

Hubble Telescope Captures Comet Reversing Its Rotation for the First Time
- Friday March 27, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers observed Comet 41P slow, stop, and reverse its spin due to gas jets. The rare phenomenon could mark the beginning of the comet’s breakup as it nears the end of its life.

SPHEREx Captures Dramatic Outburst of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
- Wednesday February 11, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope captured a dramatic outburst from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its close solar flyby in October 2025. Infrared observations in December revealed water vapor, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, and cyanide erupting from the comet’s nucleus. Scientists say the chemical makeup suggests formation in a relatively warm e...

NASA’s SPHEREx Spots Interstellar Comet Flaring With Gas and Organic Molecules
- Monday February 9, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS unexpectedly brightening as it leaves the solar system. The comet released water vapour, carbon dioxide, and organic compounds months after its closest solar approach. Scientists say the findings provide a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star, helping compa...

NASA’s TESS Captures First Images of Rare Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
- Thursday January 29, 2026
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has captured rare images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third such object ever detected. Observations from January 2026 reveal the comet rotates every 15 hours and produces sunlight-driven jets, behaving much like Solar System comets. Scientists say studying 3I/ATLAS may unlock clues about th...
