Hubble’s clearest view of comet 3I/ATLAS shows a dusty coma and faint tail from a rare interstellar traveller.

NASA and the European Space Agency recently shared remarkable new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which was discovered last month. This comet is only the third known interstellar object to pass through our solar system,

The latest observations of 3I/ATLAS suggest it resembles comets from the outer reaches of our solar system, but may be smaller than initially estimated

Scientists estimate the object to be more than 12-miles-wide, speeding at 37 miles-per-second, relative to the sun.

Scientists are exploring various proposals to repurpose existing spacecraft in order to chase after the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS and take a closer look – but time is against them

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured its most detailed image yet of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The rare comet is expected to remain visible to ground-based telescopes through September before passing behind the Sun and reappearing during the winter.
