Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS image release: NASA faces backlash; Harvard scientist says 'no new insights'. Check details
Space agency NASA is facing backlash after it released the much-awaited pictures of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS that has sparked a lot of buzz around astronomers and scientists. NASA said that research indicates 3I/ATLAS is a comet. But many users on social media slammed NASA for blurry pictures with Harvard scientist Avi Loeb saying there are no new insights in the images released.
NASA has unveiled jaw-dropping high resolution images of comet 3I/ATLAS on Wednesday as questions swirl about the origin of the Manhattan-sized interstellar object. “I'd like to address the rumors right at the beginning.” Amit Kshatriya, the associate administrator of NASA, said during the news conference. “This object is a comet. It looks and behaves like a comet.”
The photos of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS were taken by multiple NASA spacecraft between September and mid-October. The images show a tiny, glowing orb encircled by a hazy halo of gas and dust, hurtling through space about 190 million miles from Earth at a staggering 153,000 miles per hour, as per New York Post.
“It's a little bit as if our NASA spacecraft were at a baseball game, watching the game from different places in the stadium,” said Tom Statler, NASA lead scientist for solar system small bodies, CNN reported. “Everybody has got a camera and they're trying to get a picture of the ball and nobody has a perfect view, and everybody has a different camera.”
NASA's Psyche Mission captured four different views of the celestial object over an eight-hour span on Sept. 8 and 9 from 33 million miles away. The images were delayed due to the government shutdown, which ended last week.

NASA slammed after comet 3I/ATLAS pictures released
The comet 3I/ATLAS was originally discovered on 1 July 2025 by the Nasa-funded Atlas survey telescope based in Chile and there has been a lot of buzz regarding its origin. After NASA released the pictures of comet 3I/ATLAS on Wednesday, many on social media were met with disappointment as the pictures were blurred and did not have the right quality, HT reported.Many netizens took to social media to hit out at NASA about the 3I/ATLAS pictures. “After all these days of delay and hype, this is the pixelated picture that NASA released of 3I/Atlas LMFAOOOO IS THIS A JOKE,” wrote one. "NASA just dropped their "groundbreaking" new images of 3I/ATLAS after a $30 billion budget and months of hype...It's a blurry white dot with a fuzzy halo," wrote one.“Meanwhile, some dude in his backyard with a $500 Walmart telescope and a Red Bull just stacked this absolute banger showing jets, tails, and structure clearer than NASA's entire press http://conference.” “We've got citizen astronomers out here taking better photos of 3I/ATLAS than NASA. 👀 Make it make sense,” said another.

Harvard Scientist Abi Loeb reacts
Harvard astronomer, Abi Loeb, who has been at the forefront of the buzz around the 3I/ ATLAS was quick to react to NASA's presser on Wednesday. Loeb has challenged the space research organization over the 3I/ATLAS, asking many questions about the object's origin and nature, and has played a key role in driving several breakthroughs.On Wednesday, after the presser, Loeb appeared on News Nation and slammed NASA saying they “did not reveal” anything new. "There were no new insights as to the properties of this object," Loeb said. "They pretty much repeated things we already knew."
