Space agencies track rare 3I/ATLAS interstellar object near Mars



Washington DC (UPI) Oct 7, 2025
NASA and the European Space Agency are tracking the 3I/ATLAS interstellar object as it travels past Mars on its way toward the Sun and through the solar system. The object is thought to be a comet and is only the third interstellar object to be identified within the solar system, according to NASA. NASA's Mars Perseverance rover might have captured an image of 3I/ATLAS, which scientists first discovered in July, as it passed Mars at a distance of 23.6 million miles from the Red Planet. / ... read more
