The Latest Breaking News from Solar System

Envision a time when hundreds of spacecraft are exploring the solar system and beyond. That’s the future that NASA’s ESCAPADE, or Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers, mission will help unleash: one where small, low-cost spacecraft enable researchers to learn rapidly, iterate, and advance technology and science.

Astronomers have ruled out alien origins for interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, confirming it's a natural comet—not an extraterrestrial spacecraft—while revealing clues about its ancient birthplace beyond the solar system.

A nearby star has just been caught throwing a tantrum – and it could rewrite what we know about the potential for life in the universe.

Astronomers study 3I/Atlas as its tail rapidly expands and a strange cosmic radio signal reaches Earth, sparking new debate over its interstellar nature.

Astronomers have ruled out alien origins for interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, confirming it's a natural comet—not an extraterrestrial spacecraft—while revealing clues about its ancient birthplace beyond the solar system.

New observations from the Virtual Telescope Project reveal 3I/ATLAS's sharply defined ion tail, highlighting increased activity as the interstellar comet moves through the inner solar system.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is glowing brighter and defying all cometary science. Astronomers are baffled by its intense energy and unique chemical signature, suggesting this visitor is not a typical icy body.

Did the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas really explode near the Sun? We debunk the viral social media rumours and confirm the scientists' observations: the rare visitor is intact and continues its journey. Learn the facts about its perihelion passage.

NASA is tracking Comet C/2025 V1 — a 'near-interstellar' object resembling 3I/ATLAS — as it speeds safely past Earth, offering rare insights into the solar system's outer frontiers.

New research on 3I/ATLAS suggests the comet may be a 'processed' object, complicating efforts to study pristine material from other star systems.

A viral TikTok claims NASA leaked proof of a manoeuvring comet, but experts say Comet 3I/ATLAS is more about science than aliens.
