Stunning New Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS 🚀

NASA has unveiled breathtaking new images of the rare interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed visitor from beyond our solar system, captured by a fleet of spacecraft including Hubble, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MAVEN, Psyche, Lucy, and SOHO. Discovered in July 2025 by the ATLAS survey in Chile, this ancient cosmic wanderer—potentially billions of years old—zipped through the inner solar system at over 130,000 mph, revealing a teardrop-shaped dust cocoon, a blurry halo of gas and dust, and a faint, stubby tail in vivid detail. These multi-wavelength observations, taken from late September to mid-October 2025, offer unprecedented insights into its composition, including carbon dioxide, water, cyanide, and surprising levels of nickel, while debunking wild rumors of alien origins. As it hurtles back into interstellar space, 3I/ATLAS leaves behind a treasure trove of data for astronomers studying the building blocks of distant star systems.
