Elon Musk triggered fresh conspiracy chatter after declaring, “I will never commit suicide,” during a discussion on Comet 3I/ATLAS and alien life. His statement has sparked intense speculation online.

The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas surrounding it.

A photographer who captured a comet in the night sky above the Yorkshire Dales said he spent weeks waiting for the perfect moment for the shot. Dominic Reardon, who lives Arnside, Cumbria, travelled to Muker in North Yorkshire to photograph Comet Lemmon on 25 October.

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has a thick irradiated crust that no longer resembles its home star system, simulations and James Webb Space Telescope observations have found.

Physicist Michio Kaku is warning about the AI-generated deepfakes, which exploit his image to push the idea the comet '3I/ATLAS' is an alien spacecraft that poses a potential threat.

A photographer says he feels "very lucky" to have captured Comet C/2025 A6 as it appeared over the Lancaster bomber sculpture in Norton Disney. Also known as Comet Lemmon, it was first detected in January by stargazers at the Mount Lemmon Survey in the US.

Almost 50 years after the WOW! signal stunned astronomers in Ohio, 3I/Atlas reappears in the same sky region, raising questions about extraterrestrial activ

They also noted that iron was not detected alongside the nickel, an uncommon pattern in comets. Rahatgaonkar and Seligman suggested that the nickel may be locked in molecules that break apart easily under sunlight, releasing the metal at low temperatures.
