Indian scientists claim AstroSat spotted interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS before NASA — sparking debate over data-sharing, recognition, and space research transparency.

Scientist Avi Loeb has accused NASA of withholding critical information about 3I/ATLAS — the Manhattan-sized interstellar comet which he’s postulated could have extraterrestrial origins. The Harvard astrophysicist made these allegations during a recent appearance on “ The Joe Rogan Experience .”

NASA and the International Asteroid Warning Network have launched a global campaign to track comet 3I/ATLAS and strengthen Earth’s asteroid defense.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is passing safely through our solar system. Learn about its discovery, its distant path, and why NASA is using Hubble, Webb, and more to study it.

Astronomers have identified Comet 3I/ATLAS as an interstellar object, making it only the third confirmed visitor from outside our solar system, according to NASA.<br /><br />The comet is travelling on a hyperbolic trajectory,

Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS will reach perihelion on October 29, 2025, sparking theories from alien spacecraft to prophecies. While NASA confirms it will not hit Earth, passing at a safe distance, its journey offers a unique opportunity for scientific observation.

The strange case of 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar object now moving through our solar system, has taken a wild turn. Footage circulating on social media claims to show what users describe as a 'large vessel' linked to the comet-like body, with some even alleging that NASA quietly activated its Planetary Defence Network in response.
