Modern astronomy is giving us unprecedented views of the asteroids, comets, and other small bodies that litter our cosmic ...

Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System, completing a rotation in less than 10 hours. This rapid spin ...

Interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS could serve as seeds for giant planet formation, potentially explaining how massive planets form around distant stars, according to BBC and Pfalzner’s research.

The space object, named Chiron, is believed to be a piece of rock measuring a whopping 130 miles wide at its broadest point - ...

The comet is on what’s known as a hyperbolic trajectory, which means that it doesn’t follow an orbital path around the sun.

Astronomers have identified 3I/ATLAS, an ancient, ice-rich interstellar comet potentially older than our solar system.

Researchers rarely get a glimpse of an interstellar object up close like 3I-ATLAS, so they have jumped on the opportunity to learn about its composition, which can reveal how planet systems are made.

As a joke, she labelled it LGM 1 for “Little Green Men”, but the astronomers working on it did not really believe they had ...

A rare interstellar visitor, comet 3I/ATLAS, is currently traversing our solar system, offering scientists a unique chance to ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is drawing global attention for its mysterious path through our solar system, offering rare insights into objects originating beyond the Sun’s gravitational reach.

Stargazers using telescopes should be able to see the object in the predawn sky beginning Nov. 11, according to EarthSky.

The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas ...
