Just the third-ever confirmed interstellar object has been detected in our solar system. Here's what we know. (Spoiler: It's ...

The third object known to have entered the Solar System from interstellar space has an origin unlike either of its ...

For only the third time in recorded history, an interstellar object has crossed into our solar system, creating quite the ...

The interstellar comet 3I/Atlas is the fastest and largest of its kind, giving astronomers a rare glimpse into extrasolar ...

The comet was identified as interstellar due to its highly eccentric hyperbolic orbit, which is unlike the elliptical orbits of native Solar System objects.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO-VLT) has captured clear images of 3I/ATLAS, a fast-moving interstellar comet that the Sun's gravity can't slow down.

The comet is described as a spinning mass of ice, rock and dust, hurtling through space on a path that thankfully poses no threat to Earth. At its closest point, 3 Eye Atlas will remain approximately ...

Astronomers have spotted a new interstellar object — the third of its kind ever seen — shooting towards us through the solar ...

Astronomers have detected a third interstellar object, named 3I/ATLAS. Preliminary studies suggest it may originate from a specific part of the Milky Way's galactic disk.

What at first seemed a routine detection of an object travelling through the solar system soon turned out to be anything but. The object’s trajectory revealed it to be a much rarer visitor than first ...
