Description

Astronomers are abuzz about the interstellar comet three-I-ATLAS, which recently made its closest approach to Earth. This rare celestial visitor, originating from outside our solar system, has been observed by several space missions, including Hubble and Juice. New images reveal a teardrop shape, a glowing gas halo, and two distinct tails, confirming its cometary nature. Despite posing no risk to Earth, the comet will remain visible to telescopes and space missions for a few more months before leaving our solar system.
