Astronomers are stunned by interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS releasing water vapour unusually far from the Sun. This rare event, detected by NASA's Swift Observatory, suggests microscopic ice grains are ...

Scientists have detected water vapor components in the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, a significant discovery for ...

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, confirmed by its hyperbolic trajectory, marks the first detection of hydroxyl gas (OH) from a visitor originating outside our solar system, indicating the presence of ...

"It tells us that the ingredients for life's chemistry are not unique to our own." A rocky visitor from beyond our solar system is leaking water like a "fire hose running at full blast," a new study ...

NASA scientists have detected traces of water on the mysterious interstellar object 3I/Atlas, sparking new discussions about the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.

For millions of years, a frozen traveler drifted in silence through the stars, carrying secrets from another world. This summer, that interstellar visitor—now known as 3I/ATLAS—passed through our ...

Analyses of its emissions using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory indicate that the interstellar comet probably has a very different structure than comets in the solar system. Hydroxyl compounds ...

A frozen traveller from another star system has surprised astronomers. Scientists have detected signs of water on comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object to visit our solar system.

For millions of years, a fragment of ice and dust drifted between the stars—like a sealed bottle cast into the cosmic ocean. This summer, that bottle finally washed ashore in our solar system and was ...
