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

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 ...

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.

The object’s potentially interstellar origins excited scientists across the globe, and the next morning, the that this object, first named A11pl3Z and , is the third ever found from outside our ...

Update: July 3, 09:24 a.m. ET: On Wednesday, July 2, the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center confirmed that an interstellar object is traveling through our solar system.

Astronomers have detected 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object identified, traveling at approximately 240,000 km/h towards the Sun. Its high velocity suggests an origin outside our solar system ...

If C/2025 N1 is an interstellar object, it joins a very select group. The first known interstellar object ever identified was ’Oumuamua (also known as 1I/2017 U1) on Oct. 19, 2017, by the Pan ...
