Recent images from NASA and the European Space Agency suggest that 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar comet racing through space, could be seen passing by Earth in December.

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center shared the images of comet 3I/ATLAS. It's possibly as big as Manhattan, likely older than our own solar system and it's traveling through space at speeds of up to ...

"It's going to look different because it didn't come from our solar system and that's what makes it so magical." Ever since the famous "interstellar invader" comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered in our solar ...
