1:33Now PlayingNASA has released new images of 3I/Atlas, a rare interstellar comet currently speeding through our solar system. The comet didn’t form here — it came from another star system, making it only the third interstellar object humans have ever observed up close. Astronomers spotted it on July 1 as it crossed Mars’ orbit, and NASA says its closest pass to Earth will be on December 19 (still 168 million miles away — not a threat).
In this video, we explain why 3I/Atlas matters, what NASA’s observations reveal, and how interstellar visitors like this give us clues about star systems we may never reach.
