Astronomers have utilised the European Space Agency's (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter to track comet 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object to enter the solar system, as it traverses the Martian orbit at speeds reaching 155,000 mph (250,000 km/h). The operation demonstrates a novel triangulation technique that significantly refines trajectory predictions for fast-moving celestial bodies.
