To reach Earth’s closest star system, Alpha Centauri, scientists are building a laser-powered spacecraft. To pull off ...
On November 6, 2025, a remarkable breakthrough in quantum physics was announced that could potentially revolutionize space ...
The MeerKAT radio telescope detected hydroxyl radicals from interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, suggesting it's shedding a ton of ...
A newly discovered comet named C/2025 V1, which some have compared to 3I/ATLAS, is due to make its closest approach to Earth on Tuesday, Nov. 11.
When it comes to what part of Earth is most at risk of an ISO impactor, low latitudes near the equator face the greatest risk. There's also a slightly elevated risk of impact in the Northern ...
A distant visitor from the depths of interstellar space has captured the imagination of scientists and stargazers alike.
During that close approach, scientists were surprised to note that 3I/ATLAS brightened much faster than they anticipated.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may have just broken up into well over a dozen ...
Imagine a fiery wall of gas reaching temperatures up to 50,000 K (equivalent to 90,000 °F). Thankfully, this barrier is not located near a star or at the ...
We know of three interstellar objects (ISO) that have visited our inner solar system. Oumuamua was the first one, and it came ...
After briefly escaping from Earth's view during a (very) close approach to the sun on Oct. 30, Comet 3I/ATLAS can finally be ...
