Comet 3I/ATLAS seen with glowing tail by telescope

Comet 3I/ATLAS is just the third observed interstellar object ever witnessed in Earth's solar system.

The Gemini South telescope in Chile is the latest observatory to get a glimpse of the object as it whizzes toward the sun.

Even though the comet poses no threat to Earth, the world's astronomers and space agencies are racing to harness a rare opportunity to study planetary material that formed from another star.

A famous comet is blazing through our neighborhood, leaving a striking trail in its wake.

A ground telescope in Chile recently glimpsed the comet's glowing tail, which observations reveal has steadily been growing as the interstellar interloper cruises toward the sun.

It's not often that a celestial object originating from another star makes its way to our solar system. Natura
