The Latest Breaking News from Sun

The BBC Breakfast presenter, 50, has been accused of ‘bullying’ a colleague and making a ‘wildly unprofessional’ off-air sex joke that left a staffer ‘humiliated’

C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) has broken into three distinct pieces following its closest approach to the sun on Oct. 8.

New images show that comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) has fragmented after passing its closest point to the sun, ahead of its close approach to Earth later this month. This is not the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS remarkably survived its close solar pass intact, yet its observed gas jets demand an impossibly large absorbing area, four times its seen size.

Astronomers confirm 3I/ATLAS' radio signal is natural, not alien, with MeerKAT data showing it matches typical cometary outgassing patterns.

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.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has intensified his call for NASA to release high-resolution images of the enigmatic interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, captured 40 days ago by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

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.
