Interstellar object comet 3I/ATLAS

NASA's treasure trove of new comet 3I/ATLAS images provides hotly anticipated views of the interstellar visitor, including from Mars and the sun.

NASA's highly anticipated comet 3I/ATLAS images have been released, with a space agency official shooting down alien rumors and stressing that the interstellar visitor is a comet.

NASA will finally share long-awaited images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS taken during the comet's close flyby of Mars. A live stream has been set for today (Nov. 19).

An incredible new image shows the multi-tailed alien comet 3I/ATLAS shooting past a distant galaxy in the night sky. The stunning scene is a reminder of the object's perfectly natural interstellar origins, photographer Satoru Murata claims.

Scientists from the European Space Agency have significantly narrowed down the trajectory of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS thanks to data from the alien comet's recent flyby of Mars, allowing for more accurate future observations.

New images show that comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) has fragmented after passing its closest point to the sun, ahead of its close approach to Earth later this month. This is not the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

Astronomers at South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope have detected the first radio waves coming from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. But while this sounds suspiciously like alien activity, it is actually further proof of its completely natural origins.

Comet 3I/ATLAS appears to be normal and intact, despite some reports that the interstellar visitor exploded after its brush with the sun.

Newly discovered comet C/2025 V1 (Borisov), which has some minor similarities to 3I/ATLAS, will make its closest approach to Earth on Tuesday (Nov. 11). However, despite recent rumors, the two objects are not related to one another.
