Comet 3I/ATLAS comes from outside our solar system.
On October 30, 2025, it passed closest to the Sun, about 203 million kilometers away.
The comet is now moving away, but it will stay in our sky for a few more months.
A comet is like a dirty snowball made of ice, dust, and rock.
When it gets close to a star, the heat makes gas and dust fly off.
This creates the bright tail we see in the sky.
Telescopes like Hubble and James Webb have already looked at the comet.
They found water, carbon dioxide, and other gases coming out of it.
Studying these gases helps us learn how other star systems formed.
People with small telescopes may see the comet in the early morning sky from November 11.
It will come closest to Earth on December 19, about 270 million kilometers away.
The comet is not dangerous to our planet.
After a few months, it will leave our solar system and travel back into deep space.
