Mars Orbiter Tracks Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS With Unprecedented Precision

Scientists mapped the path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with ten times greater accuracy using images from ESA’s Mars orbiter. The breakthrough shows how observations from different points in space can improve future planetary defense. The data, the first of its kind from another planet’s orbit, offers a powerful new tool for tracking fast-moving cosmic objects.
