A stray comet from another star swings past Earth this week in one last hurrah before racing back toward interstellar space. Discovered over the summer, the comet known as 3I/Atlas will pass within 167 million miles of our planet on Friday, the closest it gets on its grand tour of the solar system, per the AP. NASA continues to aim its telescopes at the visiting ice ball, estimated to be between 1,444 feet and 3.
