The earliest images of 3I/ATLAS, newly uncovered by Michigan State University, reveal how the interstellar object evolved as it traveled through our solar system—and how other distant solar systems ...

NASA's telescopes have captured detailed observations of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, confirming it as a natural comet rich in CO₂ and water ice. Discovered in 2025, the comet's composition and ...

On its own, that might not sound like a big deal, but when one panel fails, the performance of the entire string can be compromised. In the case that you can’t find a matching replacement panel, ...

A comet known as 3I/ATLAS made news when it was confirmed to be the 3rd-ever object observed to have originated outside Earth's solar system. Though the object poses no threat to Earth, astronomers ...

A visitor from beyond the stars has caught NASA’s eye. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, observed between 7 and 15 August, is offering astronomers a rare chance to study material from outside our solar ...

Last month, Google quietly killed off Google Sky Maps. But there’s still another way to virtually explore most of the solar system a la Google Maps: it’s called Google Maps in Space. Google Maps in ...

The U.S. planetary science community is sounding the alarm about plans to discard a nuclear technology that has powered dozens of NASA missions over the past 50 years But RPS is expensive, costing ...
