Comet 3I/ATLAS Today: Latest News, Science Updates, and How to See the Rare Interstellar Comet Before Its Dec. 19, 2025 Flyby

Updated Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025 — Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (also referenced as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS)) is now just two days from its closest approach to Earth, and today’s coverage spans everything from practical skywatching advice to fresh scientific analysis of the comet’s “non‑gravitational” motion. Space+1 On Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, 3I/ATLAS will reach its minimum distance from Earth — but don’t let the phrase “closest approach” fool you. NASA says the comet will still be about 1.8 astronomical units away (roughly 170 million miles / 270 million kilometers), nearly twice Earth’s distance from the Sun — a wide, safe margin that puts any impact fears firmly to rest.

American Airlines Stock (AAL) Today: Premium Push Headlines, Analyst Forecasts, and What Investors Are Watching on Dec. 17, 2025

American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) is back in the spotlight on Wednesday, December 17, 2025—not because of a surprise earnings report, but because the airline is making a very loud statement about where it thinks airline profits are going next: upmarket. Shares were recently around $15.99 in U.S. trading on Dec. 17, according to the latest available quote. That price level matters because it’s sitting right at the center of a debate investors have been having all year: Is American’s turnaround a real margin story—or just a nicer cabin wrapped around the same old leverage and execution risk?

Global Stock Markets Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Asia Rises on China AI-IPO Frenzy, Europe Near Records, Wall Street Futures Edge Up Ahead of U.S. Inflation

Global stock markets today are walking a familiar late-year tightrope: equities are mostly firmer across Asia and parts of Europe, but risk appetite remains restrained as traders brace for a heavyweight run of inflation data and central-bank decisions. The day’s mood is also being shaped by a sudden jolt in energy markets after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a “blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers moving in and out of Venezuela, sending crude prices higher and reviving inflation anxiety. Reuters+1 As of Wednesday, Dec. 17, major benchmarks show that cautiously positive bias: Japan’s Nikkei 225 is up about 0.26% (49,512), Hong Kong’s

US Economic Calendar Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Fed Speakers, Oil Inventories, and CPI Countdown

Wednesday, December 17, 2025, arrives with a U.S. economic calendar that’s less about blockbuster government data and more about central bank signals, energy-market inflation risks, and a crowded set of “shutdown-shifted” narratives still rippling through markets. Investors are watching a trio of Federal Reserve speakers, tracking the weekly oil inventory report, and positioning ahead of Thursday’s inflation release. Reuters+2Reuters+2 The backdrop is unusual: several high-profile U.S. releases have been delayed or rescheduled after a lapse in federal appropriations, and agencies are still updating calendars and catch-up timetables.

Tesla Stock (TSLA) Hits Record High Near $490 as Robotaxi Buzz Surges—While California Targets “Autopilot” Marketing
