The interstellar space rock shows off the illuminating effects of its brush with the sun. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. After months of unprecedented observations, astronomers are bidding goodbye to the beloved comet 3I/ATLAS . First spotted in July 2025, the frigid, dusty space rock is only the third known interstellar object to pass through the solar system, offering researchers the rare opportunity to examine a visitor from deep space. Among other discoveries, scientists have since confirmed that the interstellar comet is the fastest ever recorded as well as covered in ice volcanoes --and definitely not extraterrestrial tourists .

The new Atlas will be deployed at Hyundai and Google DeepMind first. Boston Dynamics' Atlas is finally entering production. After years of testing this humanoid robot (and forcing it to dance), the robotics company announced at CES 2026 that the final version of the machine is being built now. The first companies to receive deployments will be Hyundai, Boston Dynamics' majority shareholder, and Google DeepMind, the firm's new AI partner . This final enterprise version of Atlas can perform a wide array of industrial tasks, according to Boston Dynamics, and is specifically designed with consistency and reliability in mind.

Hyundai Motor Group says it will roll out human-like robots in its factories from 2028, as major companies race to use the new technology. The South Korean firm showed off Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday. Hyundai says it plans to integrate Atlas across its global network, including a plant in the US state of Georgia that was involved in a massive immigration raid in 2025 . Other firms that have said they will use humanoid robots in their operations include Amazon, Tesla and Chinese car making giant BYD. The Atlas robots will gradually take on more tasks, said Hyundai.

Atlas can work autonomously, via a teleoperator or with a tablet steering interface, and the robot is both strong and durable.

The past 12 months have read like a science-fiction novel, with thousands of UFOs swarming over the US East Coast, an interstellar visitor invading our solar system, and the potential discovery of giant columns under the Egyptian pyramids. Moreover, scientists and government officials have been unable to disprove all of the wild theories surrounding many of these jaw-dropping events, including one respected scientist's claim that the giant space rock 3I/ATLAS may be an alien craft.

The interstellar object is still soaring through our solar system. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. It's understandable why every space agency and astronomy enthusiast around the world is trying to catch a glimpse of 3I/ATLAS . Not only is it the third-known interstellar object to pass through our solar system,it's also the fastest comet ever recorded . But even as it races at 130,00 miles per hour towards its closest distance from Earth, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently caught another stunning glimpse of the icy rock.

It's still not aliens, but the interstellar comet keeps getting weirder. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. As comet 3I/ATLAS continues its exciting journey through our solar system, scientists are still learning everything they can about this special space rock. It is only the second interstellar object ever tracked through our solar system and is among the fastest comets ever observed. As the 3I/ATLAS nears its closest distance to Earth, an international team of astronomers now says the space rock may be covered in active, icy cryovolcanoes.

Starting on November 27, a global team of scientists with the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) will kick off a two-month campaign to track the comet as it nears our planet . 'While it poses no threat, comet 3I/ATLAS presents a great opportunity for the IAWN community to perform an observing exercise due to its prolonged observability from Earth and high interest to the scientific community,' the UN explains on its website. 'This 3I/ATLAS campaign is the 8th IAWN observing exercise since 2017 - IAWN holds these exercises roughly once a year.' While 3I/ATLAS was only discovered in July 2025, the UN explained that this'comet campaign' has long been planned.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has captured the imaginations of both amateur and professional skygazers, but it's not the only icy space rock to recently speed past Earth. In October, a pair of comets known as Lemmon and SWAN also left trails of dust and gas as they continued along their vast orbits through the solar system. As luck had it, their timing perfectly aligned with a wave of vibrant auroras generated by one of this year's largest solar eruptions. And judging from NASA's recently released photos, few people had a better vantage point than the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

In real-world applications, data often reside in restricted domains with unknown boundaries, or as high-dimensional point clouds lying on a lower-dimensional, nontrivial, unknown manifold. Traditional Gaussian Processes (GPs) struggle to capture the underlying geometry in such settings. Some existing methods assume a flat space embedded in a point cloud, which can be represented by a single latent chart (latent space), while others exhibit weak performance when the point cloud is sparse or irregularly sampled. The goal of this work is to address these challenges. The main contributions are twofold: (1) We establish the Atlas Brownian Motion (BM) framework for estimating the heat kernel on point clouds with unknown geometries and nontrivial topological structures; (2) Instead of directly using the heat kernel estimates, we construct a Riemannian corrected kernel by combining the global heat kernel with local RBF kernel and leading to the formulation of Riemannian-corrected Atlas Gaussian Processes (RC-AGPs). The resulting RC-AGPs are applied to regression tasks across synthetic and real-world datasets. These examples demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches in both heat kernel estimation and regression accuracy. It improves statistical inference by effectively bridging the gap between complex, high-dimensional observations and manifold-based inferences.
