NASA to Share Comet 3I/ATLAS Images From Spacecraft, Telescopes -- [https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-share-comet-3i-atlas-images-from-spacecraft-telescopes/](https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-share-comet-3i-atlas-images-from-spacecraft-telescopes/)

NASA has this to say...

Comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered by the NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) observatory on July 1, is only the third object ever identified as entering our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. While it poses no threat to Earth and will get no closer than 170 million miles to Earth, the comet flew within 19 million miles of Mars in early October.

The event will air on NASA+, the NASA app, the agency’s website and YouTube channel, and Amazon Prime.

Briefing participants include:

NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya

Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, acting director, Astrophysics Division
Tom Statler, lead scientist for solar system small bodies
