Astronomers are stunned as interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS erupts early from behind the Sun, releasing a 10,000 km gas jet and speeding ahead of its predicted orbit.

While NASA classifies the object as a harmless comet, per Economic Times, Loeb described the matter similar to a “blind date,” where he detailed: “You often assume that the dating partner would be very friendly, but you have to worry about serial killers, as well.”

Astronomer Gianluca Masi and his Virtual Telescope Project will host a special livestream on Oct. 24 beginning at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT) to watch as both comets make a close pass to Earth, making them well placed for observations.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is barreling toward its closest point to the sun as perihelion looms on Oct. 29. How different will it look when it reappears on the other side?

A pair of space probes cruising the solar system may be able to pass through the tail of the mysterious Manhattan-sized comet hurtling towards Earth — but only if the scientists operating

A rare encounter of two comets this week will have stargazers in awe after nearly a year of no easily seen comets.

Brooks, which visits the Earth roughly every 71 years, was spotted releasing intriguing radio signals last year.

Asteroids, comets, and clouds contain complex organic molecules that form in space and might have kickstarted life on Earth and elsewhere.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) will pass through the neck of the great celestial serpent represented by the constellation Serpens Caput on the nights of Oct. 26-27.
