3I/ATLAS Is About to Buzz Mars and Jupiter - And Our Spacecraft Will Be Watching
Update: 2025-09-28
Description
3I/ATLAS is embarking on an extraordinary grand tour of our solar system, making close encounters with Mars, Venus, and Jupiter that seem almost too perfect to be coincidental. On October 3rd, it will pass just 18.6 million miles from Mars - closer than Earth ever gets to the Red Planet. Our robotic sentinels, from Mars orbiters to Jupiter's Juno spacecraft, are positioning themselves for humanity's most comprehensive study of an interstellar visitor ever conducted. Tonight we follow this cosmic ballet and the unprecedented scientific opportunities it presents.
