Visual knowledge graph

Relationships, not isolated facts

This viewport is generated from the Asteria knowledge graph. Science, culture, and interpretive links remain separated by domain so visual context never changes the evidentiary meaning of a relation.

Curated next objects

space mission

Voyager 1

Voyager 1 is a NASA space probe launched in 1977 that explored Jupiter and Saturn and has since become the most distant human-made object, traveling in interstellar space.

space mission

Cassini–Huygens

Cassini–Huygens was a NASA–ESA–ASI mission launched in 1997 that orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 and delivered the Huygens probe to the surface of its moon Titan.

space mission

Mars Science Laboratory

Mars Science Laboratory is the NASA mission that delivered the Curiosity rover to Mars in 2012 to investigate the planet's climate and geology.

interstellar object

1I/ʻOumuamua

The first confirmed interstellar object, detected in October 2017 on its way out of the Solar System. Its strongly hyperbolic orbit (eccentricity about 1.2) showed it was never bound to the Sun. It displayed no visible coma, is highly elongated, and showed a slight non-gravitational acceleration — features that drew wide attention, though the scientific consensus is that it is a natural body.

interstellar object

2I/Borisov

The second confirmed interstellar object and the first that was unmistakably a comet, discovered in August 2019 by amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov. Its eccentricity of about 3.4 made its interstellar origin certain. Unlike 1I/ʻOumuamua it showed an active dust coma and tail, letting astronomers study the chemistry of a comet formed around another star; it proved unusually rich in carbon monoxide.

interstellar object

3I/ATLAS

The third confirmed interstellar object, discovered on 1 July 2025 by the ATLAS survey in Chile. Its orbit is the most strongly hyperbolic of the three found so far, with an eccentricity of roughly 6, and it showed cometary activity as it passed through the inner Solar System in late 2025. Some physical parameters remain preliminary, but its interstellar origin is established by the trajectory.
