Comet 3I/ATLAS News Roundup (Nov. 6, 2025): China’s Mars Orbiter Images the Interstellar Visitor, JWST Chemistry Update, and How to See It

Comet 3I/ATLAS news roundup — November 6, 2025 Today’s big development: China’s Tianwen‑1 Mars orbiter captured and released new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (also cataloged as C/2025 N1), taken from roughly 30 million km away during the comet’s October 3 pass near Mars. China’s state outlets say the sequence shows clear cometary features and marks one of the closest probe‑based looks at the object to date. The observation doubles as a technology pathfinder for China’s upcoming Tianwen‑2 mission.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: A Visitor from Beyond the Solar System

Comet 3I/ATLAS today (6 Nov 2025): China’s Mars orbiter snaps new photos as the interstellar visitor turns bluer and shows puzzling acceleration

Updated: 6 November 2025 — A rapid, reader-friendly briefing on the third interstellar object ever found, tailored for Google News & Discover. At a glance — what’s new on Nov 5–6 China’s Tianwen‑1 just gave us a rare Mars‑orbit look at 3I/ATLAS China’s space agency says the Tianwen‑1 Mars orbiter used its high‑resolution camera to observe 3I/ATLAS during the object’s close pass by Mars (early October), when the spacecraft was ~30 million km from the comet—one of the nearest probe‑based looks so far. The agency released images and a brief 30‑second sequence showing the comet’s motion, adding that the observation

Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Just Turned Blue and “Accelerated”—Here’s What Really Happened This Week

Key facts (updated Nov 5, 2025): The story so far: what changed in the last few days While 3I/ATLAS was hidden in the Sun’s glare in late October, it slipped into the fields of view of several solar‑monitoring cameras: STEREO‑A (SECCHI), SOHO/LASCO C3 and NOAA’s GOES‑19 CCOR‑1 coronagraph. A new analysis by Qicheng Zhang (Lowell Observatory) and Karl Battams (U.S. Naval Research Lab) reports an extra‑steep brightening as perihelion approached (scaling approximately as r^‑7.5), and color photometry showing the comet was bluer than the Sun, signaling that glowing gas (not just dust) dominated the visible output near perihelion. This is

Third Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Stuns Scientists With Surprising Brightening and Blue Glow

Discovery and Interstellar Identity Comet 3I/ATLAS (officially Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS) was first spotted on July 1, 2025, by the NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) telescope in Río Hurtado, Chilenewsweek.com. Right away, its orbit stood out as hyperbolic, meaning it isn’t bound to the Sun by gravity and is just passing through. This identified 3I/ATLAS as an interstellar object – a rare visitor from another star system. It is only the third such interstellar traveler ever detected, after the mysterious cigar-shaped 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017 and the comet 2I/Borisov in 2019space.com. The “3I” designation literally means third interstellar, and “ATLAS”

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Stuns Scientists with Surprising Bright Outburst and Ancient Origins

A Visitor From Beyond the Solar System In July 2025, astronomers discovered something extraordinary: a dim, fuzzy comet hurtling toward the inner solar system on a path not bound to the Sun. Follow-up observations confirmed this object – now named 3I/ATLAS (for the ATLAS survey that found it) – was on a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning it came from interstellar space and would soon depart forever Nasa Wikipedia. The “3I” designation marks it as the third interstellar object ever observed, after the asteroid-like 1I/ʻOumuamua and comet 2I/Borisov Nasa.

A Mysterious Visitor from Beyond the Solar System When astronomers spotted a faint new object moving rapidly through the outer solar system in July 2025, they quickly realized it was not an ordinary comet. Its extra-high velocity and open-ended (hyperbolic) trajectory indicated it was an interstellar interloper – an object arriving from far outside the Sun’s domainscientificamerican.com. Officially designated 3I/ATLAS (“I” for interstellar, “3” as the third of its kind, and ATLAS for the survey telescope that found ittheguardian.com), this comet has since commanded the full attention of the astronomical community. “We’ve never had an object like this to study

Discovery and Designation Comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, 2025 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey telescope at Río Hurtado, Chileesa.int. ATLAS – a NASA-funded sky survey designed to spot incoming asteroids – detected a faint magnitude ~18 object moving against the starry backgroundras.ac.uk. Initially catalogued as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) under comet naming conventions, the object raised immediate excitement because its orbit did not appear bound to the Sunts2.tech.
