Comet 3I/ATLAS is making its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 19, but don’t worry: it poses no threat. It won’t come closer than about 170 million miles – nearly twice the distance between Earth and the Sun. What it will do is give us a unique chance to study material from another solar system and learn more about what planets elsewhere in the galaxy are made of. We teamed up with Google to help you get the facts.
We teamed up with NASA, so you don't scroll in the dark. Search to decode the signal and get the answers you need.

Our Nancy Grace Roman Telescope is now fully assembled! Watch it come together in this timelapse. Set to launch no later than May 2027 – though on track for an early launch in fall 2026 – Roman will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than our Hubble Space Telescope; each Roman image will capture a patch of the sky bigger than a full moon.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but Roman just came together in one! Our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has finished its final integration at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Set to launch...

On Oct. 28, 2025, our X-59 aircraft, designed to fly at supersonic speeds and reduce the sound of loud sonic booms to quieter sonic thumps, took off for the first time. For this first flight, a NASA test pilot flew the X-59 slower than the speed of sound and at an altitude that allowed the team to conduct in-flight system and performance checks. Read more about the flight: https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-faci... What’s next for NASA Aeronautics and the X-59? We’re prepping for a series of test flights where the plane will operate at higher altitudes and supersonic speeds. This phase will ensure the X-59 meets performance and safety expectations.
