Mystery Deepens as Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Brightens Unexpectedly Near the Sun
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS defied expectations during its 2025 solar flyby, brightening far faster than predicted. Observatories worldwide recorded a blue coma rich in exotic gases, suggesting unique chemistry from another star system. Scientists are investigating whether its unusual composition or speed caused the outburst, marking a new interste...

Point Nemo: The Remote Ocean Graveyard Where the ISS Will Make Its Final Descent in 2030
NASA will retire the ISS in 2030, sending it to Point Nemo, a remote Pacific zone known as the spacecraft cemetery. Most of the station will burn up during reentry, with remaining debris falling harmlessly into the sea. The controlled descent aims to avoid past mishaps and reflects a new era of commercial space stations.

Japan’s Akatsuki Spacecraft Declared Inoperable, Marking End of Dedicated Venus Missions
Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft, which studied Venus for nearly a decade, has been declared inoperable by JAXA. Successfully orbiting in 2015 after an initial failure, Akatsuki uncovered major insights into Venus’s swirling clouds and atmosphere. Its mission’s end leaves a gap until NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI+ missions take over.

NASA Confirms Brightening Comet SWAN Could Be Visible With Binoculars: When and Where to See It
Comet SWAN (C/2025 R2), discovered via NASA’s SOHO spacecraft, is rapidly brightening as it nears its October 20–21 Earth flyby. Skywatchers should look to the western horizon after sunset to spot its vivid green coma and tail — possibly visible to the naked eye in dark conditions.

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...
