Interstellar object comet 3I/ATLAS

New telescope images show that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is shooting a giant jet of gas and dust toward the sun. This is normal behavior for comets, an expert told Live Science.

Researchers have discovered that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has been shedding water, providing insights into the building blocks of life outside of our solar system and the evolution of interstellar comets.

The European Space Agency's ExoMars orbiter has captured the closest view yet of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The images reveal the comet's bright coma but show no signs of a tail.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS does not come from our corner of the Milky Way, and may be a time capsule of the early galaxy, new research into its trajectory hints.

New photos captured during the recent "blood moon" total lunar eclipse show that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be turning green as it gets closer to the sun.

The Gemini South Observatory opened up its telescope to the public as a team of astronomers looked at the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in real time.

New images reveal interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS beginning to grow a signature tail as it zooms closer to the sun ahead of a close encounter with Earth this fall.

NASA's planet-hunting TESS telescope observed the rare interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS two months before it was formally "discovered," and those early observations reveal the comet is surprisingly active.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has made its first observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing that the comet appears to be unusually rich in carbon dioxide.

New images from the Hubble telescope show an extrasolar entity as it hurtles through our solar system at speeds of more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h).
