Comet 3I Atlas is currently ~186 million miles from Earth, which is twice the distance from the Earth to the sun. It is moving away from the Sun now but getting closer to Earth until December 19, 2025. There are more major observed anomalies that cannot be explained and break known standard comet physics. It …
The 3I/ATLAS comet is only the third object ever identified as entering our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. While it poses no threat to Earth and will get no closer than 170 million miles to Earth, the comet flew within 19 million miles of Mars in early October. We still could not resolve …
Tomorrow NASA finally shows their HiRise, triple current best resolution images. In ~4 days a CME (sun coronal mass ejection) is expected to slam into a now very active 3I/Atlas — potential for spectacular tail disconnection event or brightening. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb explains how Tianwen-1’s high-resolution Mars-orbit imagery has refined the comet’s path with …
NASA has officially announced a live event on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. EST where they will share these HiRISE images along with other new data and visuals from Hubble, SPHEREx, and additional spacecraft/telescopes. NASA’s HiRISE instrument, on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, captured the highest-resolution images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it …
3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning of November 8, 2925. It was observed at 29 degrees elongation from the Sun. In July and August , other researchers calculated that 3I Atlas is rotating about every 16 hours. How could these jets maintain their orientation if 3I/ATLAS is rotating every 16.16 hours? Other …
15 spacecraft both those on heliocentric orbits and also the spacecraft grouping at the planet Mars will have chances to look at interstellar 3I/Atlas over the next few months. Today Psyche spacecraft on 2025 September 4 has a chance to look at 0.302 AU distance as 3I/Atlas passes by Mars. October, the martian spacecraft array …
