11 billion year old interstellar comet traced to a lonely frozen corner of Milky Way

11 billion year old interstellar comet traced to a lonely frozen corner of Milky Way

Astronomers say Comet 3I/Atlas is an interstellar visitor likely among the oldest ever confirmed, possibly dating back about 11 billion years. Traced to a cold, isolated part of the Milky Way that hadn’t yet formed a solar system, it arrived harmlessly after being discovered last summer. Multiple telescopes tracked it as it passed Mars and approached Earth in late 2024.
