megangibson+FollowComet ATLAS Just Went Full Sci-FiComet 3I/ATLAS is breaking all the rules! This interstellar visitor just erupted in X-rays, surrounded by a massive 400,000-km halo—something scientists say is 'difficult to explain.' Instead of a neat, compact glow, telescopes are seeing a wild, sprawling cloud and even weird jets wobbling toward the Sun. Basically, ATLAS is rewriting what we thought we knew about comets and giving astronomers a cosmic mystery to obsess over. Catch it before it vanishes for good! #Science #CometATLAS #SpaceMystery356Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowComet ATLAS Drama: It Broke Into 3 Pieces!Comet ATLAS was supposed to give us a show as it zoomed by Earth, but plot twist: it totally fell apart before scientists could get a good look! The comet split into three pieces thanks to the sun’s intense gravitational pull. There’s even an animation showing the breakup. Now, only those with serious telescopes might catch a glimpse of its remains in Leo. Space is wild, right? #Science #CometATLAS #SpaceNews11Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowComet ATLAS Goes Out With a BangSpace drama alert: the 'other' comet ATLAS just put on a wild show, breaking into pieces after a close brush with the sun. Discovered only in May, this golden-hued comet surprised astronomers by splitting into three (now four!) fragments, all caught in a jaw-dropping timelapse. Even though we won’t get to study its rare makeup up close, you can still spot its remains in Leo with a good telescope. Space is wild, y’all! #Science #CometATLAS #SpaceNews7415Share
Michelle York+FollowComet ATLAS Just Pulled a Cosmic BreakupComet ATLAS (not the famous one!) just couldn’t handle its wild ride around the sun and totally broke apart. Now it’s a glittery trail of space debris, not a single comet. Astronomers caught the breakup in action, and if you’ve got a telescope, you can spot the remains in Leo. It’s swinging by Earth soon, but don’t expect a showy light—this breakup is for stargazers only! #Science #CometATLAS #SpaceNews543Share
