Cometa 3I – Atlas – Foto: NAsa Astronomers confirmed the detection of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas by the ATLAS system on July 1, 2025. The telescope, located in the Atacama Desert, Chile, identified the object during routine observations of asteroids. Its hyperbolic trajectory, with a speed exceeding 30 km/s, indicatedContinue lendo
Cometa – Giovanni Cancemi/Shutterstock.com Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS reveals network of seven jets in images captured at 04:10 UT on November 8, 2025. Astronomers M. Jäger, G. Rhemann and E. Prosperi obtained a series of stacked photos that show complex structure. The comet, positioned at 29° altitude, exhibited multiple streams ofContinue lendo
3IATLAS- Foto: Jack_the_sparow/Shutterstock.com The China National Space Agency (CNSA) announced that the Tianwen-1 probe, in orbit around Mars since 2021, recorded images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on October 3, 2025. The object passed approximately 30 million kilometers from the spacecraft, allowing high-resolution captures that show the comet’s coma andContinue lendo
Interstellar comet 3I/Atlas reaches a speed of 57 km/s as it approaches the Solar System. This mark allows the object to escape the Sun’s gravitational pull without entering orbit. Astronomers detected the celestial body on a hyperbolic trajectory, coming from another star system. The Sun exerts gravitational force capable ofContinue lendo
3IATLAS – Foto: Jack_the_sparow/Shutterstock.com Astronomers at the ATLAS system detected the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025, at the Río Hurtado observatory in Chile. The object, the third confirmed to originate outside the Solar System, follows a hyperbolic orbit with an eccentricity exceeding 5, confirming its interstellar origin. ItsContinue lendo
Nasa – Foto: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com NASA activated the planetary defense protocol after detecting unexpected variations in the brightness and trajectory of comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object crossing the Solar System. The U.S. space agency, in collaboration with the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN), issued the alert through theContinue lendo
