A new comet has been discovered speeding through the solar system between the Earth and interstellar interloper 3I\/ATLAS. Currently the icy rock\u2019s position is in the constellation of Virgo with an observed magnitude (COBS – Comet Observers Database) of 13.8 and a coma diameter (COBS) of 2.3\u2019. The comet will make its closest approach to Earth on November 11, 2025, at a distance of 103,119,940 kilometers or 0.68 AU. Its perihelion is estimated on the 16th of this month.<\/p>\n

The newly spotted comet is not an interstellar object but rather one of the cometary rocks from the Oort clouds.<\/p>\n See Also: Comet 3I\/ATLAS Latest Location: Here\u2019s What New NASA Chief Jared Isaacman Said About The Interstellar Visitor<\/a><\/p>\n See Also: 3I\/ATLAS And Area 51 – Are They Connected?
