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

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

While the comet's tail is getting brighter and larger, the coma seems to have disappeared, suggesting something is afoot in ...

While the comet's tail is getting brighter and larger, the coma seems to have disappeared, suggesting something is afoot in the nucleus. Comets are simplistically made of three components ...

Additionally, the interaction between the solar wind and the comet's coma has been a significant area of study. Research has shown that the solar wind is deflected and slowed down as it interacts ...

New observations suggest that Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), which recently became visible to the naked eye, might be breaking ...

A newly-discovered comet might light up the night sky in the coming weeks, possibly shining even brighter than the planet Venus. The comet, named Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3), is making a beeline for the ...

Hungarian astrophotographer Lionel Majzik has made headlines in the scientific community with his groundbreaking discovery: ...

The comet at the time was a magnitude 19 object about 4.38 AU (655 million km) from Earth. Further observations indicated it had a diffuse coma about 4.5 arcseconds across and a straight tail.

When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes its ice to vaporize, releasing gas and dust that form a glowing atmosphere called a coma and sometimes a visible tail that extends away from the ...
