NASA spacecraft record interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reaching peak brightness near the Sun
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS captivated astronomers with its dramatic passage near the Sun, brightening significantly due to active gas emissions. Tracked by NASA and international spacecraft, this ancient, fast-moving object offers a unique glimpse into material from beyond our solar system, potentially revealing clues about the origins and evolution of comets from distant star systems.
