On Jan. 22, the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will be at opposition, visible in our sky in the direction opposite to the Sun. We will show it live, online. The 16 Jan. live feed was...
We imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (aka C/2025 N1 ATLAS) again, while it slowly fades and leaves our cosmic neighborhood. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 9, 120-second exposures, remotely taken...
Now that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is leaving forever our Solar System, we will look at it publicy for the last time, sharing the view with the community worldwide. On 16 Jan. 2026, we will...
After many cloudy nights, we finally imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (aka C/2025 N1 ATLAS), which is now clearly fading as it recedes into deep space. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination...

We will share live, online images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on the day of its minimum distance from the Earth. Support the Virtual Telescope Project and receive an exclusive image of interstellar comet...
We imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS) under good sky conditions, recording its fascinating ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 11, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the...
Exploiting the unusual good weather of this season, we imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS) again, recording a much more developed ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of...
While observing conditions improve, we spotted again the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS), detecting the complex signature of its ion tail. The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 14, 120-second exposures,...
We observed again the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, after its recent conjunction with the Sun. Its coma is clearly visible, despite the extreme observing conditions. The image above comes from the average of six, 60-second...
We succeeded imaging the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its recent conjunction with the Sun, starting our post-perihelion observing season of this extraordinary object, looking forward to show it live to the community. The image...
Un breve profilo della cometa interstellare 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1 ATLAS), ora che si appresta a farsi osservare nuovamente dalla Terra. Il 1 luglio, nel corso del proprio programma di ricerca di asteroidi capaci di...
Now that this important object is going to show again in our sky, after its recent conjunction with the Sun, we will offer to the community the unique opportunity to see the interstellar comet...
On 31 July 2025, we imaged 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), as part of our coverage of this exceptional object. We succeeded detecting its faint coma. The image above comes from the combination of...
On July 1st, astronomers discovered a celestial body passing through the region of the Sun, but originating from beyond the Solar System: it is 3I/ATLAS = C/2025 N1 (ATLAS). It’s the 3rd ever of this...
