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.

Why October 29 Is Key To Solving The Mystery Of Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA's Hubble, Webb, Parker Solar Probe, and other missions are tracking 3I/ATLAS to understand its true nature.

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.

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.

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.

Leonard Comet to Fly Past Earth on December 12, Likely to Be Very Bright
The comet, named Leonard after the astronomer Gregory Leonard, who discovered it earlier this year, is likely to be bright when it makes its closest approach to Earth on December 12. In fact, the comet is still visible in the sky in the east, before sunrise.

Rare Comet Will Be Visible From Earth For First Time: NASA
A rare comet discovered by NASA scientists will be visible using just binoculars to skywatchers on Earth this week for the first time, before the object heads back into outer reaches of the solar system for an orbit lasting thousands of years.

Incoming comet ISON heading for close encounter with sun
A comet is heading for a close encounter with the sun later this month, and if it is not vaporized or torn apart, it should be visible to the naked eye in December.
