Nov. 20 (UPI) -- NASA released images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS flying past Mars and, based on the agency's observations, scientists expressed doubt that it is an alien spaceship.
Space agencies globally have shifted satellites, telescopes and myriad other sensors and tools to monitor the comet, which has beguiled space scientists and the public alike with every move it has made on its trip through the solar system.
Over the last 4 1/2 months, in addition to watching the comet rocket around the sun on its journey, there has been speculation that the comet could be technological based on observations that deviate from what comets are expected to do.
We've just released the latest images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, as observed by eight different spacecraft, satellites, and telescopes.
Here's what we've learned about the comet - and how we're studying it across the solar system: https://t.co/ZIt1Qq6DSp pic.twitter.com/ITD6BqVlGn— NASA (@NASA) November 19, 2025
