I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), originated in a distant star system, far beyond the boundaries of our solar system.

Astronomers have confirmed the presence of 3I/ATLAS, a rare interstellar comet originating from a distant star system, now traversing our solar system.

The interstellar comet, originally designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), was observed on July 1 by the NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile.

The new interstellar comet's official name is 3I/ATLAS. It's officially the third known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, and it poses no threat to Earth.

To this end, ESA is preparing the Comet Interceptor mission. The spacecraft will be launched in 2029 into a parking orbit at the Sun–Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2), lying in wait for a suitable target – ...
