ESA’s ExoMars Orbiter Captures Closest Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter captured the closest-ever images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passed Mars at 130,000 mph. The faint object revealed a gas coma but no tail. Believed to be billions of years older than our Solar System, the comet will exit after nearing Jupiter in 2026.
