A comet discovered earlier this year is on a collision course with the sun, and if it holds together through the encounter, ...

The Hubble Space Telescope saw Comet 41P stop spinning completely, and then restart, but in the opposite direction.

New data indicates Comet 3I/ATLAS is second only to C/2016 R2 in terms of methanol levels ever recorded in a comet within our solar system.

The comet formed in a cold and distant part of the early Milky Way up to 12 billion years ago, putting it just under 2 billion years the age of the universe.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will soon reach its closest distance to Earth, so this may be our last, best chance to see this rare object before it heads back out into the universe, never to return. One ...

Scientists are scrambling to explain why interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is carrying life's chemical building blocks at concentrations never before seen, and it makes its final pass through our cosmic n ...

“Observing 3I/ATLAS is like taking a fingerprint from another solar system,” explained Nathan Roth, an astronomer at American ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is leaving our solar system for good. Here's what to know about its journey and NASA's ...

Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.

The comet contains higher levels of this simple alcohol than almost all known comets from our solar system.

Lead researcher Nathan Roth said the image shows the comet is “bursting with methanol in a way we just don’t usually see.” ...
