3I/ATLAS Pulled Trick When It Vanished Behind Sun: Prediction Useless Against Chaotic Space Oddity
Astronomers thought they had the trajectory of the latest interstellar visitor figured out, but the object had other plans. For weeks, 3I/ATLAS slipped out of view from ground-based telescopes, obscured by the glare of the Sun. When it finally re-emerged, it was not the same object that had vanished into the solar glare. Instead of dimming as it drifted away, the comet suddenly lit up with a brilliant, surprising glow. But the real shock came fr…
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has once again captured scientific attention after NASA obtained new data during a serendipitous observation by a transiting spacecraft. What is NASA's new discovery about comet 3I/ATLAS? 3I/ATLAS, detected in 2025, made its closest approach to Earth on December 19. During that period, NASA took advantage of the position of the Europa Clipper spacecraft, which is en route to Jupiter, to observe the object from an…
Scientists detect unusual radio signals from the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a celestial object that passed close to the Solar Sistema in 2025. The emissions, believed to be persistent, were detected by one of the world's most advanced radio telescopes, MeerKAT, and have generated significant interest in the global astronomical community. The detection of these anomalous signals has led to an unprecedented mobilization. Observatories and NASA h…
