NASA recently released new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, presented at a press conference on November 19, 2025. These images come from various spacecraft and telescopes that observed the comet as it traveled through our solar system. Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar visitor to enter our solar system, and its discovery has caused a stir around the world.
Particularly notable are the images taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter when the comet was photographed at a distance of 19 million miles on October 2, 2025. These images show the comet in an active state, with multiple jets streaming in all directions. This activity is typical of comets that are close to the Sun, as the Sun’s heat sublimates the ice on the comet’s surface and releases jets of gas.
Comet 3I/ATLAS, originating from Sagittarius in our sky, made its closest approach to the Sun on October 29, 2025. At that time it was about 1.36 astronomical units from the Sun. The comet is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025, but will remain invisible to the naked eye. Astronomers and amateur astronomers need at least an 8-inch telescope to observe the comet.
The discovery and observation of 3I/ATLAS provides scientists with valuable insights into the composition and behavior of interstellar objects. Researchers have tried to determine the comet’s origin by tracing its orbit. Despite numerous studies, no specific source star has yet been identified. However, these studies are crucial to deepen our understanding of the formation of planetary systems and the dynamics of interstellar objects.
