"There is little question that, with its daylight display and spectacular evening apparition in a moonless sky, Comet 2024 G3 ...

Researchers say there’s a 1.3 percent chance that the space rock 2024 YR4 could strike our planet — but not until December ...

Michigan State University and NASA researchers discover seven dark comets that reveal new solar system secrets.

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

New photos of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) suggest that it could be disintegrating due to "thermal stress" from its recent ...

Right now Comet ATLAS appears in the constellation Sagittarius, and though it may look too close for comfort in Pettit's image, it's actually some 87 million miles from Earth. Sunlight tends to ...

A photo taken from the International Space Station captures the brilliant comet known as C/2024 G3 ATLAS, which could be the ...

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.

But from an altitude of 254 miles (409 km) above the Earth, the comet was relatively easy to see and photograph from the International Space Station (ISS) by Russian cosmonaut Ivan Vagner on Jan ...

NASA and other space agencies are tracking 2024 YR4, a near-Earth asteroid with a small chance of impacting our planet in ...

Often, star-grazing comets such as C/2024 G3 do not survive the encounter with the Sun, though astronomers believe that this one did so in the past. This comet's period is 135,000 years – long for a ...

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