      An interstellar visitor to our solar system known as 3I/ATLAS has captivated the public for months, and it’s not hard to see why.

      For one, it’s incredibly rare for any kind of space object originating from a star that’s not our sun to be spotted visiting Earth’s cosmic neighborhood. And for another, such an uncommon event has given way to plenty of wild theories about just what the object could be – including an infamous one postulating that it could be an alien spaceship.

      But for scientists around the world, the discovery that 3I/ATLAS is making a short journey into and out of our solar system has sparked an urgency to get a closer look at an object that could soon vanish from our sights. Early on, astronomers were able to determine with a high degree of certainty that the object is a comet, but work has continued to get a better idea of its size and physical characteristics.

      I wish we had the delta V to go visit it, the samples we could get would be incredible 

    3. Are there any new data from yesterday or today’s observations from Mars?

    4. To be clear, the rare part is that we caught it. Not that it is there or that it got caught by our suns gravity.

      And no. It isn’t making a landing on Mars.

      I feel like they have just been stringing us along with no real images or info and today was suppose to be the day we got a better idea according to them

    6. oct 3 and oct 29 were the dates to capture this from outside Earth. and it just happens NASA is part of a Gov shutdown. for the whole month of october. we get nothing

    7. COMET 3I/ATLAS HAS REACHED MARS: Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is flying past Mars today–and the Mars Fleet is watching. „We’re about to get our best-ever look at an interstellar comet,“ says physicist T. Marshall Eubanks from Space Initiatives Inc, who is helping coordinate international spacecraft teams as they train their instruments on 3I/ATLAS.As many as 6 spacecraft could get a close-up view: NASA’s MAVEN and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, ESA’s Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, the UAE’s Hope probe, and China’s Tianwen-1. Because 3I/ATLAS is now practically invisible from Earth as it swings behind the sun (a blackout that will last until December) Martian spacecraft may provide the only high-quality spectra and images of the comet at its brightest. „The fleet at Mars could deliver the definitive dataset,“ write Eubanks and colleagues, who authored a new study urging space agencies to seize this opportunity.
