For millions of years, a frozen wanderer drifted between the stars before slipping into our solar system as 3I/ATLAS—only the ...

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 still chase it. The catch is a 2035 launch, a scorching Solar Oberth ...

By taking advantage of a maneuver that would see a spacecraft fire rocket engines while in the solar corona, that ...

“3I/ATLAS presents a new opportunity to study an interstellar object, and observations in X-ray light will complement other ...

It was "full-on erupting" during its flyby of the Sun. The post 3I/ATLAS Spraying Material as It Exits the Solar System ...

Observations of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS show increased water, carbon dioxide, and organic gas release after its passage near the Sun, based on data from NASA’s SPHEREx mission ...

The arrival of 3I/ATLAS in our solar system spawned multiple proposals for a rendezvous mission to study it up close. As the third interstellar object (ISO) ever detected, the wealth of information ...

Comet 3I/ATLAS was full-on erupting into space in December 2025, after its close flyby of the sun, causing it to significantly brighten. Even water ice was quickly sublimating into gas in ...

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has sparked intrigue in the scientific community after NASA's SPHEREx spacecraft detected ...

Is 3I/ATLAS just a comet — or an intergalactic ark? A NASA spacecraft has discovered organic chemicals on 3I/ATLAS, which ...

Two research papers propose extreme gravitational slingshot trajectories that could fling a spacecraft onto a path to catch up with 3I/ATLAS, which NASA and the European Space Agency describe as an ...
