Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Navigating a Complex Pursuit

Comet 3I/ATLAS is in our solar system. Scientists missed the best time to send a rocket directly to it. Now they are using smart ideas to study it from far away.

A special comet from another star system, called 3I/ATLAS, is flying through our solar system. It is hard to get close to it now, but scientists are finding new ways to learn about it. They are using other space tools and clever plans to study this visitor from deep space.
