A cosmic traveler is coming your way! ☄️

Comet 3I/ATLAS will pass within 170million miles of Earth, its closest pass by our planet on its journey through the solar system, on December 19.

It was discovered on July 1 by the NASA-funded ATLAS telescopes in Chile. 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object known to have passed through our cosmic neighborhood, following 1I/‘Oumuamua in 2017 and comet 2I/Borisov in 2019.

The comet poses no danger to Earth or any other planets as it passes through the inner solar system.
