The interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS has captured the attention of scientists and space enthusiasts since it was first spotted earlier this year. In a surprising update, scientists captured video footage of 3I/ATLAS for the first time since late October after it suddenly vanished behind the Sun.
On Sunday, 9 November 2025, astronomer Joan Miguel Gonzalez Navarra of the Sabadell Institute captured video footage of 3I/ATLAS drifting through the Solar System. In a 20-minute observation made up of 20 exposures that are 60 seconds each, Navarra tracked the interstellar comet under an 83% illuminated Moon. Navarra also noticed an unusual detail upon observing the comet, as it looked like it was falling apart.
