China's Tianwen 1 spacecraft has imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from Mars orbit, contributing to global efforts to study the rare visitor from beyond the solar system.

China’s Tianwen-1 orbiter has captured an image of 3I/ATLAS during its fly-by of Mars, furthering efforts to shed light on the interstellar anomaly.

One of the best parts about sending rovers like Perseverance to other planets, is sometimes they send back some absolutely stunning photographs.

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth - but several spacecraft are in the perfect position to get a closer look. As 3I/ATLAS warps and grows the closer it gets to our solar system's star, public fascination with the ...

The method, developed by researchers at the State University of Campinas in Brazil, uses images of dune surfaces to estimate the force acting on each grain of sand. By combining laboratory experiments, computer simulations and artificial intelligence (AI), the team generated detailed force maps that reveal the physics of dune formation.

“Dust, wind and sand dynamics appear to be the main seasonal drivers of slope streak formation,” Bickel said in a statement. “Meteoroid impacts and quakes seem to be locally distinct, yet globally relatively insignificant drivers.”

A late-night stream of Mars images has stirred fresh curiosity, uneasy laughter and a rash of wild theories across social media. Within hours, a claim
