Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will reach opposition on January 22, 2026, making it visible opposite the Sun. A live online observation session will be broadcast starting at 23:30 UTC on that date. This event follows a previously scheduled, but canceled, observation due to cloudy weather.

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 supposed to be our last public one covering this object, but that evening was cloudy here; furthermore, several people asked us to offer a live view on 3I/ATLAS on the night of its opposition in our sky, so we scheduled a new online observing session: 22 Jan. 2026, starting at 23:30 UTC. To join, you just need to enter, at the date and time above, our webTV page here! Back to “Upcoming Events” Please wait while you are redirected...or Click Here if you do not want to wait.
