Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Turns Green Ahead Of Closest Approach To Earth
3I/ATLAS has offered scientists a unique opportunity to study material formed around another star.

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...

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...

First Image Of 3I/ATLAS Captured By Mars Perseverance Rover? Internet Buzzes With Theories
The photo shows a glowing cylindrical object, leaving many wondering if it's an alien spaceship.

New Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Reveal Secrets of Distant Worlds
Astronomers have confirmed the arrival of 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system. First seen on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey team in Chile, it was quickly identified by its unusual hyperbolic orbit and comet-like tail. Larger and brighter than either 1I/ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS is estimated to b...

Here's How Our Solar System Could Capture Interstellar Objects And Rogue Planets
The key to this phenomenon lies in the concept of phase space, a mathematical representation that describes the state of a dynamical system like our solar system.

Harvard Professor, Searching For Remains Of Interstellar Object, Finds "Promising Material"
Two confirmed interstellar objects have entered the solar system in recent years: 'Oumuamua' in 2017, and Comet Borisov in 2019.

Unidentified Interstellar Bids Goodbye To Solar System, Leaves Mystery Behind
Oumuamua's speed and trajectory revealed it originated outside the solar system, making it the first known interstellar object.

Scientists Launch Undersea Expedition to Look For Interstellar Meteor That Hit Earth In 2014: Report
A meteorite believed to have come from beyond the solar system crashed into the ocean in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Scientists have now launched an expedition to the depths of the ocean to search for the space rock.

NASA Video Shows Comet Borisov Visiting From Outside Our Solar System
NASA's Hubble Telescope has photographed the interstellar Comet Borisov at a distance of 260 million miles (about 41.84 crore km) from Earth. Comet Borisov is the only second interstellar object to ever enter our solar system: the first such visitor was an object officially named "Oumuamua".

First Known Interstellar Object 'Oumuamua' Could Be Alien Listening Device, Harvard Professor Speculates
A Harvard astrophysics professor has suggested the mysterious interstellar object “Oumuamua” could be linked to the dozens of UAVs reported by US military planes over the years. Avi Loeb claimed that Oumuamua, first discovered in 2017, could be a listening device designed by an extraterrestrial intelligent civilisation that is dropping “senso...

Mystery Space Object Probably Not Aliens
For a week in late-October 2017, data was collected as the object sped through the solar system.

Scientists Say Cigar-Shaped Interstellar Object Not An Alien Spaceship
After investigating the nature of a mysterious and apparently cigar-shaped object called 'Oumuamua spotted in 2017 speeding through our solar system, astronomers remain uncertain over how to classify it, but are confident it is not an alien spaceship.

Scientists Push Back Against Harvard 'Alien Spacecraft' Theory
Oumuamua, the first interstellar object known to enter our solar system, accelerated faster away from the Sun than expected.

Cigar-Shaped Interstellar Visitor 'Oumuamua Classified As Comet
The reddish cigar-shaped object called 'Oumuamua spotted last year tumbling through space is a comet, scientists said on Wednesday, solving the mystery over how to classify the first interstellar object found passing through our solar system.
