✨Comet 3I/ATLAS: IAWN kicks off its observing exercise!
 
While posing no threat to Earth, interstellar #comet 3I/ATLAS presents a valuable scientific opportunity. The International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) is now conducting an observing exercise during the comet’s visibility window: 27 November 2025-27 January 2026.
 
This campaign helps astronomers practice how to accurately determine comet positions — a key skill for planetary defence. 🔭
 
📸✨From Earth orbit to Mars, spacecraft across the solar system have already been capturing the journey of 3I/ATLAS. Here are a few of the images so far!
