Anatomy of an interstellar object Comet 3I/ATLAS follows two other intriguing interstellar objects, called ISOs, that once passed through our solar system: ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

An "interstellar object" is speeding toward the inner solar system, where Earth is located, astronomers have confirmed. The object -- likely a comet -- was first detected in data collected between ...

Astronomers have observed an object that originated from beyond our solar system, thought to be an interstellar comet, speeding through our celestial neighborhood.

This interstellar object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is still pretty far from the sun, currently located between the orbits of the asteroid belt and Jupiter but heading toward the inner solar system.

A11pl3Z could prove different. First, it's still inbound, currently just inside the orbit of Jupiter. The object reaches perihelion in a few months on October 29th, 2025 at about 1.35 astronomical ...

The second object confirmed to have strayed from another star system into our own is 21/Borisov, discovered in 2019 and believed to be a comet. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Late in the evening on July 1, a telescope in Chile that is part of the global, NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) picked up on a new moving dot in the sky, an ...

It's too soon to know whether the object, designated for now as A11pl3Z, is a rocky asteroid or a icy comet, or how big and what shape it is. More observations are needed to confirm its origins.

In October, the object from outside the solar system is expected to make its closest pass to a planet, coming within 0.4 AU (37 million miles) of Mars. Scientists don't believe A11pl3Z poses any ...

Scientists have spotted an object they suspect may have originated from another star system, and it seems to be heading towards Earth. The European Space Agency (ESA) announced today that its ...

The European Space Agency wrote on X: "Astronomers may have just discovered the third interstellar object passing through the Solar System. "ESA’s Planetary Defenders are observing the object, ...

MOSCOW, June 30. /TASS/. About 23,000 different objects, including residential buildings, schools, hospitals and public utility infrastructure facilities, have been restored or built in Donbass ...
