Object 3I/ATLAS is now too far from Earth to aim a telescope at, but prior observations showed some unusual behavior. The anomalous nature of the object led astrophysicist Avi Loeb to apply a thought ...

Astronomers have recently detected a colossal object at the edge of our solar system, sparking excitement and curiosity within the scientific community. This discovery could provide crucial insights ...

Only four such objects have been discovered, astronomers say. Astronomers have discovered a "fossil" body residing on the outskirts of the solar system, according to new research. The object – which ...

Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery at the outer edge of our solar system—a strange space rock that dances in perfect rhythm with Neptune. The object, named 2020 VN40, is part of a group ...

Called 3I/ATLAS, the object is only the third of its kind known to astronomers, and it’s likely been heading our way for billions of years, carrying pristine material from another star system Jay ...

The outer reaches of our Solar System continue to reveal a complex dynamical environment where the interplay of gravitational forces shapes the orbits of a myriad of distant bodies. Research in this ...

Earlier this summer, astronomers discovered something strange whizzing past Jupiter: an interstellar object. Scientists named it 3I/ATLAS. It’s only the third interstellar object ever observed, and it ...

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) detected significant nickel vapor but almost no iron in the interstellar 3I/Atlas comet. Having nickel without iron is not a chemical signature found in known natural ...

Is alien invasion armageddon coming for us in November? That's the speculation set off by a legitimate academic study recently published by a team of scientists. In early July, a previously ...

3I/ATLAS was captured by the Gemini North telescope in Maunakea, Hawaii, revealing the comet’s compact coma. International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/K ...
