By early December, 3I/ATLAS will move away from the Sun’s vicinity, and its glare, and will be visible again in the Northern Hemisphere with its closest pass to Earth occurring on December 19.

NASA has confirmed that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS safely passed Earth without any deviation from its predicted trajectory, dismissing online fears of a potential impact or orbital anomaly.

NASA and the International Asteroid Warning Network have launched a global campaign to track comet 3I/ATLAS and strengthen Earth’s asteroid defense.

Scientist Avi Loeb has accused NASA of withholding critical information about 3I/ATLAS — the Manhattan-sized interstellar comet which he’s postulated could have extraterrestrial origins. The Harvard astrophysicist made these allegations during a recent appearance on “ The Joe Rogan Experience .”

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is passing safely through our solar system. Learn about its discovery, its distant path, and why NASA is using Hubble, Webb, and more to study it.

Other than being a ‘Trojan Horse’ alien spaceship set to release probes to study our planet, or crashing into Earth, neither of which are likely, it looks like Comet 3I/ATLAS is what it appears to be — a comet — although a somewhat unique one.

As interstellar object 3I/ATLAS nears the Sun, Baba Vanga’s 2025 prophecy about alien contact resurfaces. While online buzz links her prediction to this mysterious comet, NASA confirms there’s no threat of impact with Earth.
