G3 (ATLAS) showed off its spectacular tail plumage to NASA spacecraft when it flew close to the sun this month.

From Jan. 11 to 15, 2025, a bright comet surged through images from the ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft. Called C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), the comet ...

A guide on how to see Comet C/2024 G3 from Texas this week before it dims and disappears for the next 160,000 years.

Because the period of an object does not depend on its mass, comets’ orbital periods remain unchanged due to mass loss.

The comet could be amongst the brightest seen in our skies for 20 years, if the weather is good enough to see it. It will get within almost 8million miles of the Sun before heading off into deep space ...

G3 (ATLAS) is one of the few comets on record that became bright enough to be visible in the daytime without optical aid like ...

Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) came within 8.3 million miles of the sun on January 13 as it reached its perihelion, and is now disintegrating.

While the Sun’s gravitational pull is by far the largest force affecting a comet’s orbit, the comparatively weaker gravity of planets can still influence comet orbits in significant ways.

This makes it challenging for astronomers to see. This comet is one of the few large, stretched orbit comets. The comet will take about 160,000 years to circle around the Sun. This long orbit ...

A long-standing practice of Autocar India’s long-term fleet has been turned on its head by the MG Comet. For years, we’d run ...

but some other unusual features that have been reported such as the 'shadow of the nucleus' is a classic feature of any large comet near perihelion, and not a sign of disruption." Still ...

A comet last seen 160,000 years ago will be bright and visible in the skies over the UK this week as it makes its closest pass through the solar system. The comet, known as Atlas C/2024 G3 ...
