The paper presented several anomalous characteristics of the object, which could indicate that it is not a comet at all but ...

Astronomers continue to track Comet 3I/ATLAS, the third-ever discovered interstellar object, passing through our solar system using ground-based telescopes to document this striking cosmic visitor.

Astronomers have confirmed the third interstellar object on record is dashing through our solar system. Dubbed 3I/ATLAS, it ...

The object was officially designated 3I/Atlas and is believed to have come from a distant star system. The post Mysterious Manhattan-sized object enters our solar system appeared first on Talker.

Captured just days after its discovery, the images offer the clearest view yet of this rare visitor from beyond our solar system.

Gregg, a Ph.D. candidate in physics and astronomy, developed a computer model to study our solar system, Alpha Centauri and the interstellar activity—the movement of gas, dust and other space ...

Astronomers on Wednesday confirmed the discovery of an interstellar object racing through our Solar System -- only the third ever spotted, though scientists suspect many more may slip past ...

In 2017, an interstellar object named Oumuamua passed through the solar system, and while most scientists believe it was a natural phenomenon, Harvard physicist Avi Loeb famously argued it may ...

One less conventional explanation: if Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is to be believed, the 300-to-3,300-feet-long object could be an alien "mothership " visiting the solar system from lightyears away.

There have been a number of strange objects that have entered our solar system over the past decade, all of which have raised questions about their composition but more importantly their origin. In ...

Launched in 2006, the probe was the first to get an up-close look at Pluto, a resident of the Kuiper Belt, and serves as astronomers' eyes at the edge of the solar system.

Researchers have used the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii to peer out to edge of the Solar System known as the Kuiper Belt to discover any objects. 11 objects were discovered, and they appear to be ...
