Astronomers have observed a rare event in the solar system, a comet slowing its rotation and then spinning in the opposite direction.Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák, a small icy body about 0.6 miles across, displayed this unusual behaviour as it approached the sun in 2017. David Jewitt, an astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied images…
Interstellar objects usually pass through quietly, noticed only by a small group of astronomers before fading back into deep space. Comet 3I/ATLAS has followed a different path. Even as it moves away from Earth and heads out of the solar system, it keeps offering scientists new details to puzzle over. Recent observations suggest this visitor…
Astronomers eagerly wait for their best chance to see interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS approaching Earth on 19 December. Found on 1 July by NASA-funded ATLAS Telescopes in Chile, the icy comet was the third confirmed interstellar object that entered the solar system after 1I/’Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. Comet 3I/ATLAS will certainly be no…
ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or Juice, has recently captured striking new observations of Comet 3I/ATLAS. In November 2025, the spacecraft employed five of its scientific instruments to study the comet, collecting crucial information about its activity, structure, and composition. These measurements are helping scientists understand the behaviour and characteristics of this interstellar visitor. Alongside…
A new set of deep-space images has reignited one of the strangest scientific arguments of 2025. The photos show sideways jet-like lines shooting out from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Their geometry is so unusual that Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb says they may not be natural at all.Some astronomers insist the object is simply a weird…
Indian and Nasa space scientists have captured fresh images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS and confirmed that it has all the characteristics of a “comet” while dismissing some astronomers’ theory that it could be an “alien ship”.The scientists from Ahmedabad-based Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) under the Department of Space have captured interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which is…
NASA is set to share new photos of the interstellar visitor Comet 3I/ATLAS. The US space agency has collected these images from various agency missions and will be shown at a live event on November 19, at 3 pm EST (1.30 am IST) from the Goddard Space Flight Center. The comet has recently drawn considerable…
Amazon has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity AI, demanding the artificial intelligence search startup stop allowing its new AI browser agent, Comet, to make purchases on Amazon for users, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the report, Amazon accused Perplexity of computer fraud and terms-of-service violations, alleging the company’s AI…
It’s been years since an object from another star system came calling. Now, the cosmos is sending us another mysterious visitor — 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar object after ʻOumuamua (2017) and Borisov (2019). But if you’re hoping for a dazzling streak across the sky, temper your expectations. Seeing it will take patience, darkness,…
A mysterious traveller from beyond our Solar System is paying Earth a rare visit. This interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has captured the attention of astronomers and sky-watchers alike as it makes its closest approach to Earth on 29 October 2025. Racing through space at incredible speed, 3I/ATLAS is not just a spectacle of cosmic beauty but…
