Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: ESA Sharpens Its Path as December Flyby Fuels Livestreams and Debunks Doomsday Rumors
ESA has sharply improved the predicted path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using images from its ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which observed the comet as it passed within 29 million km of Mars in early October. The comet will safely fly by Earth in December 2025. Scientists continue to refute viral claims of a collision or alien origin.
