In July 2025, astronomers spotted 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object (ISO) ever detected passing through our solar system. Now, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided the crispest view yet of this "interstellar tourist." The observations are helping scientists constrain its size and confirm its cometary nature, all while it travels at a staggering speed.

The rover's Mastcam-Z instrument captured the 96-image mosaic on May 26, 2025, its 1,516th Martian day. After reaching the top of Jezero Crater's rim late last year, Perseverance has been exploring what may be some of the oldest terrain of its entire mission. Thanks to clear Martian skies, NASA's Perseverance rover has captured one of its sharpest panoramas yet, revealing distant hills and fascinating geology.
