CO3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and previously as A11pl3Z, is an interstellar comet discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station. The comet follows an unbound, hyperbolic trajectory past the Sun. It will not come closer than 1.8 AU (almost twice the distance of the Sun) from Earth, so it poses no threat.It is the third interstellar object confirmed passing through the Solar System, afterOumuamua and 2I/Borisov,hence the prefix. It is not expected to brighten enough to become visible in binoculars or to the naked eye. During solar conjunction on 21 October 2025,[f] the comet could be observed by the GOES-19 weather satellite.

NASA silence raises questions after missed 3I/ATLAS chasing 'Juno'
The proposal asked for a “Jupiter Oberth” gravity-assist. It needed a velocity change of about 2.675 km/s. Juno’s remaining fuel and time were tight. The U.S. federal government shutdown halted non-essential operations. Funding for Juno was labelled “mission complete” by NASA.
