The comet is known as 3I-Atlas and is currently 238 million miles from Earth. According to NASA, the comet is expected to pass the sun in October and continue hurtling toward Earth until December. The closest it will get to Earth on the current trajectory is 167 million miles away.

A telescope in Chile recently glimpsed 3I/ATLAS' glowing tail, which observations reveal has grown as the interstellar object cruises toward the sun.

Astronomers and students working together through a unique educational initiative have obtained a striking new image of the growing tail of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS. The observations reveal a prominent tail and glowing coma from this rare celestial visitor,

Astronomers continue to track the third-ever discovered interstellar object, comet 3I/ATLAS, as it moves through our cosmic neighborhood using powerful telescopes and spacecraft.
