Humanity has just reached a new milestone in interstellar science.
For the first time ever, spacecraft orbiting Mars were used to refine the orbit of an interstellar object — the newly discovered comet 3I Atlas. This breakthrough improved its trajectory accuracy by nearly 10×, making it the most precisely tracked interstellar visitor in history.
In this video, we break down how astronomers combined Earth-based observations with faint images from ExoMars TGO and Mars Express to perform an unprecedented multi-planet triangulation. You’ll learn:
• How 3I Atlas was discovered
• Why Earth observations weren’t enough
• How Mars orbiters captured it from millions of kilometers away
• What the refined orbit revealed
• The comet’s unusual CO₂-rich chemistry and cosmic-ray-altered dust
• What this means for planetary defense
• How future missions like Comet Interceptor may intercept the next visitor
Interstellar objects are rare, fast, and full of secrets.
3I Atlas may be gone soon — but what it taught us is just the beginning.
