The rare and mysterious comet 3I/ATLAS is preparing for its closest approach to Earth this month. On December 19, the interstellar visitor will pass by our planet at a distance of 167 million miles (270 million kilometers). Although it will be on the opposite side of the Sun, NASA has confirmed that the comet poses no threat to Earth. The agency also notes that 3I/ATLAS will remain visible to telescopes and space missions for several more months before it exits our solar system.
