It's probably a comet, but it might be some sort of ancient alien spacecraft or probe. What's for sure is that the mystery surrounding an object known as 3I/ATLAS is becoming both more and less...mysterious as it flies through our neighborhood of the galaxy.
Because the spacecraft are equipped with cameras that aren't designed to observe an object so far away, the images they captured were fuzzy. Still, scientists were able to get a little bit of a look at the comet's icy nucleus and coma, the cloud of gas and ...
The Manhattan-size interstellar object 3I/ATLAS zipping through the solar system is producing a metal alloy never before witnessed in nature, an expert told The Post. New images of the mysterious object taken by the Keck II telescope in Hawaii in August ...
When astronomers spotted an interstellar object flying toward the center of our solar system, it got most experts understandably excited. This is just the third known interstellar object ever seen, and each one gives scientists the opportunity to learn ...
An ancient comet discovered in our solar system this summer is offering a rare opportunity to learn more about distant planetary systems far beyond the reach of any spacecraft, researchers say. The comet is special both because it is interstellar ...
