Archive: Science Update: Hubble Observations of Interstellar Objects, August 21, 2025

A team of astronomers has taken the sharpest-ever picture of the third interstellar object, known as 3I/ATLAS and resembling a comet, traveling at 130,000 miles per hour within our solar system using the crisp vision of Hubble. This breathtaking sprint is evidence that the comet has been drifting through interstellar space for many billions of years. Observations will continue as it passes closest to the Sun in late October, and then it will leave the Solar System.
