It flew too close to the Sun. Manhattan-sized comet 3I/ATLAS allegedly executed an unusual maneuver while approaching the Sun earlier this week, fueling theories that it could be an extraterrestrial ...
A Harvard University professor has said 3I/ATLAS, a comet shrouded in controversy, experienced a sudden "nongravitational" acceleration while passing around the sun, which he believes adds to other ...
"The reason for 3I’s rapid brightening, which far exceeds the brightening rate of most Oort cloud comets at similar distances, remains unclear." The interstellar invader Comet 3I/ATLAS is continuing ...
The Manhattan-size interstellar object 3I/ATLAS exhibited signs of non-gravitational acceleration and appeared “bluer than the sun” as it passed our local star — which could be signs of an alien craft ...
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has unveiled a growing tail, a significant development after it initially showed no comet tail. This revelation follows an earlier alarm raised by a Harvard scientist ...
Despite some similarities and speculation, the new comet likely originated from our solar system's Oort Cloud and is not directly connected to 3I/ATLAS. The comet will make its closest approach to ...
Ground-based telescopes lost sight of the comet during its close approach, but solar observatories, including SOHO, STEREO-A, and NOAA's GOES-19 kept tracking it. NOAA's CCOR-1 instrument captured a ...
The problem is - Earth-based telescopes can't get a good look at 3I/atlas to see if that's occurring because it's being hidden behind the Sun. However, it's expected to reappear in early December and ...
A rapid surge in the brightness of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it neared its closest approach to the sun on Wednesday October 29 was observed by watching spacecraft. Earlier this week, Harvard ...
