Probes could catch tail of Manhattan-sized space object 3I/ATLAS, but time is running out: report

Scientists are racing against time as two space probes may have the chance to pass through the tail of the Manhattan-sized comet 3I/ATLAS, which is on a trajectory towards Earth. This opportunity is significant because it could provide valuable data about the comet's composition and behavior, enhancing our understanding of such celestial bodies. However, the success of this mission hinges on quick decision-making to alter the probes' course, highlighting the challenges and excitement of space exploration.
