This Rosetta spacecraft selfie was snapped on October 7th, 2014. At the time the comet-chasing spacecraft was about 472 million kilometers from planet Earth, but only 16 kilometers from the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.…

A anomalous object has been found approaching Sarnus, it's been waved off as a comet by the Kerbal astronomical union, despite having details suggesting it is not a comet. Investigation has been deemed to not continue.…

The ESA's Euclid space telescope was launched in July, 2026, and its mission is to observe billions of galaxies. The goal is to measure their redshifts over 10 billion years of Universal expansion, to better understand dark matter and dark energy.…

The Orionid meteor shower peaks overnight on Oct. 21-22. Here's how to see "shooting stars" from Halley's Comet.

The Orionid meteor shower peaks overnight on Oct. 21-22. Here's how to see "shooting stars" from Halley's Comet.

The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has discovered its first previously unknown comet, in images taken between 16 and 24 September 2026.

It was identified in Euclid telescope imagery using software designed to detect moving objects.

The Orionids peak around Oct. 21. Here's when and where to look for the best chance of spotting meteors.

The Moon bugs out just in time to enjoy the peak of the Orionids, which trace their origin to Halley's Comet.

A medieval monk may have beaten Edmond Halley to one of astronomy’s greatest discoveries by nearly 700 years. Researchers say Eilmer of Malmesbury recognized that the blazing comet seen in 1066 was the same one he had witnessed in 989.…

The Frozen Origins Of An Interstellar Comet On the cold and mysterious birthplace of comet 3I/Atlas Where did the comet 3I/Atlas come from? It was not born in our solar system, instead, the comet …

Now 15th magnitude, the comet is well-positioned for observation late overnight and into the early-morning hours.

The comet that rambled past us from another star last year likely originated in a cold, isolated corner of the galaxy that had yet to gel into its own solar system, astronomers reported Thursday.

A mysterious comet from beyond our solar system is giving astronomers a rare glimpse into alien worlds — and it may have formed in a place far colder and stranger than anything around our Sun.…

New analysis of ALMA observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS show its water carries a chemical signature pointing to a colder, more distant origin than any comet ever measured.
