NASA Shares Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Images

First observed earlier this year, the 3I/ATLAS comet is only the third object ever identified as entering our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. While it poses no threat to Earth and will get no closer than 170 million miles to Earth, the comet flew within 19 million miles of Mars in early October. Participants in this live event will include: NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate Shawn Domagal-Goldman, acting director, Astrophysics Division Tom Statler, lead scientist for solar system small bodies Spacecraft across the solar system, as well as ground-based observatories, have been able to observe 3I/ATLAS as it passes through our celestial neighborhood and study how the comet behaves. https://www.youtube.com/live/A55SUq2eDXg?si=s5RgfVhpteGu_dss
