NASA and ISRO actively monitor comets such as 3I/ATLAS to ensure Earth’s safety. These space agencies use advanced telescopes and tracking systems to observe comets as they travel through our solar system.
What Makes 3I/ATLAS Special?
3I/ATLAS is a mysterious interstellar visitor that moves at incredible speeds, passing through our cosmic neighborhood. Although it never comes close enough to threaten Earth, scientists from both agencies study it closely to uncover its secrets and learn more about our universe.
Why Track Distant Comets?
Tracking comets like 3I/ATLAS helps scientists understand the composition and origins of these fascinating objects. It also allows them to predict potential threats and develop strategies to keep Earth safe. By closely watching these interstellar travelers, NASA and ISRO contribute valuable data to global space research.
