Researcher Noemí Pinilla-Alonso explained that the composition is uncharacteristic of objects near Neptune. Its gaseous and solid states, which lead to behavior like that of an asteroid and a comet, are also head-scratchers.

Comet ATLAS hit a maximum magnitude of -3.4 during its close encounter with the sun, just shy of the brightness of Venus in the night sky.

Comet G3 ATLAS is set to shine at its brightest this week, potentially outshining Venus and Jupiter. G3 ATLASs orbit is so big that it takes roughly 160,000 year to go around the Sun. As it approaches perihelion on January 13,

Scientists have made a shocking discovery about a rare object in our solar system likened to an asteroid-comet hybrid. Astronomers from the University of Central Florida have made the space discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

January 13, 2025, as Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) reaches its peak brightness. This once-in-a-lifetime spectacle marks the comet's closest approach to the Sun, bringing it within 8.7 million miles of the Sun at its perihelion.

Skies over South Carolina kick off 2025 with a planet parade, ancient comet and the muse of "Beyond Antares," a 23rd-century love song from "Star Trek" fame.

A celestial body recently discovered by a Chinese observatory has been confirmed as a comet by the International Astronomical Union IAU Astronomers

A rare celestial event will take place tonight as Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024) reaches its peak brightness tonight. The comet was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Chile, on April 5, 2024.

Skywatchers are excited about a rare event this week as Comet G3 ATLAS (C/2024), the brightest comet in nearly 20 years, reaches its peak brightness. The comet, which orbits the Sun once every 160,000 years, is set to offer a once-in-a-lifetime view that stargazers won't want to miss.

A new study, currently under review for publication, suggests that an ancient cosmic visitor might have significantly altered the orbits of our solar system's giant planets. Scientists propose that this interstellar object,

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are visible to the naked eye in January and for part of February. Uranus and Neptune can only be spotted with binoculars and telescopes.
