7月1日，由NASA资助的ATLAS（小行星地球撞击最后预警系统）位于智利里奥乌尔塔多的望远镜首次报告观测到一颗来自星际空间的彗星。这颗彗星来自人马座方向，现已正式命名为3I/ATLAS。目前，它距离地球大约4.2亿英里（6.7亿公里）。
在NASA历史性的双小行星重定向测试（DART）后，喷气推进实验室领导的一项研究表明，小行星双卫一（Dimorphos）的形状已经发生变化，其轨道也已缩短。

This is the last complete image of the asteroid Dimorphos, as seen by our Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) two seconds before impact. The Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) imager aboard captured a 100-foot-wide patch of the asteroid. The DART spacecraft
