A new image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS captures its glowing tails and a distant barred spiral galaxy, creating a dramatic cosmic overlap. Astronomers say the comet’s unusual features remain natural despite online speculation. With its closest Earth approach in December, researchers are preparing for sharper spacecraft images expected to reveal even more detail.
