Get ready for a rare cosmic event! Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is making its closest pass to Earth tonight at 1 a.m. EST (0600 GMT), but don’t worry—it’s still 168 million miles away. This is only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system! While you can’t see it with the naked eye, you can catch the action live online thanks to the Virtual Telescope Project. Who else is staying up for this space visitor? #Science #InterstellarComet #3IATLAS
