A flying piece of cosmic rock or an alien threat? Comet 3I/ATLAS is hurtling through our solar system and captivating scientists and internet users alike, even prompting Kim Kardashian to ask NASA for answers.

While Perplexity has chosen to launch on Android, the company said it will also come to iOS soon. The company noted that Android has been a priority because of the volume of carriers and OEMs that have asked the startup to include Comet on their devices and solutions. However, there was no partnership announcement from Perplexity.

NASA released new images of 3I/ATLAS as it plunged towards the sun, captured by a host of the agency’s robots and probes.

The latest trio — Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang — are the crew of the Shenzhou-21 mission, whose return capsule was taken home by the Shenzhou-20 crew following a potential space debris collision that rendered their original capsule inoperable.

Collisions with the solar wind would ensure we were well aware of an antimatter comet entering our solar system, explains one reader

Astronomers refute Avi Loeb's 'misinformation' regarding interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, proving its natural origins despite 'alien' anomalies.

Scientists from the European Space Agency have significantly narrowed down the trajectory of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS thanks to data from the alien comet's recent flyby of Mars, allowing for more accurate future observations.
