NASA recently took a closer look at the Comet 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object in our solar system. The ...

Mundane wayward space rock, or extraterrestrial visitor? Astronomers believe that our solar system's latest and only third ...

3I/ATLAS is most certainly a comet, like 2I/Borisov. Currently just within the orbit of Jupiter, it is already being heated enough by the Sun's rays that a coma of gases has developed around the ...

Dr. Avi Loeb – a Harvard scientist who founded the Galileo Project focused on finding extraterrestrial life – said a recently ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has snapped images of a recently discovered interstellar visitor hurtling through our solar ...

Our new results provide the strongest evidence yet that at least some Halley-type comets carried water with the same isotopic ...

An interstellar comet spotted by NASA is headed for our solar system, showing up near Earth later this year, but it's another ...

Nasa's SPHEREx mission has recently observed the rare interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, providing crucial insights into its size, composition, and chemical makeup.

Dr. Loeb first raised concerns earlier this month, noting an anomaly in the object's appearance. Unlike typical comets, which ...

Scientists have uncovered groundbreaking evidence that Earth's water may have originated from comets, following a new study ...

The comet's approach toward Earth coincides with a total solar eclipse on April 8. Around that time, 12P/Pons-Brooks will be at or near perihelion, the point during orbit when it's closest to the sun.

Like most comets, Churyumov–Gerasimenko has an elliptical orbit – in this case, circling the Sun once every 6.5 years as it travels beyond Jupiter and back inside the orbit of Mars.
