In December 2025, NASA’s SPHEREx mission took a fresh look at the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by turning on its infrared devices. This is the third such object passing through our solar system.

By taking advantage of a maneuver that would see a spacecraft fire rocket engines while in the solar corona, that spacecraft’s velocity could receive a huge boost — enough to allow it to catch up ...

A city-sized green comet, C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś), is approaching Earth and will soon be ejected into interstellar space, ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS is not coming back — and NASA says it is not a threat to Earth — but a new trajectory study argues we could ...

On February 17, the comet will make its closest approach to Earth from 94 million miles, roughly as far as the Sun.

Comet Wierzchoś, also known as C/2024 E1, is rapidly brightening as it approaches its closest point to Earth next week. But ...

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS nears a Jupiter flyby in March 2026. Track the gravity nudge, outgassing wildcard, and what changes next—today!!

There's still time. The post Daring Space Mission Would Catch Up With 3I/ATLAS and Intercept It appeared first on Futurism.

Initial analysis suggested the nucleus was approximately 13.7 kilometers wide (roughly city-sized); however, researchers ...

The JANUS science camera aboard ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) has captured new images of the interstellar object ...

Space scientists have revealed a new image of the mysterious space rock that passed through our solar system. Researchers said the picture shows the interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, suggested to be a ...
