China’s Tianwen-1 orbiter has captured an image of 3I/ATLAS during its fly-by of Mars, furthering efforts to shed light on the interstellar anomaly.

China became the first to capture and publicly release close-up images of interstellar object 3I/Atlas ahead of NASA, revealing distinct comet-like features.

In a groundbreaking development for global space safety, China’s space agency directly contacted NASA to prevent a potential satellite collision, marking the first-ever outreach of its kind. The coordination reflects a growing recognition that space traffic management demands active communication between rival nations.

Rare outreach from China's space agency marks a breakthrough in global space traffic management. China recently reached out to NASA over a maneuver to prevent a possible collision between satellites, a space sustainability official said, marking a first for space traffic management.

Cooperation has been blocked by politics and mistrust. Yet when safety in orbit is on the line, even old rivals may find reasons to communicate. First contact in orbit At the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney,

Nuclear propulsion in space is no longer a theoretical option — it is a necessity. Without it, deep-space research will stagnate. With it, humanity can face the next interstellar visitors — like 3I/ATLAS — that advanced telescopes are likely to detect more frequently.
