The comet is hurtling our way at 130,000 mph, but will veer closer to Mars than Earth, keeping a safe distance from both.
Discovered last month by a telescope in Chile, the comet known as 3I-Atlas is only the third known interstellar object to pass our way.
The shower is courtesy of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, a 26 kilometer (16 mile) wide comet that takes 133 years to orbit the Sun.
The latest observations suggest the comet could be as wide as 5.6 kilometres, and at least 320 metres. Further observations ...
The comet’s orbit is huge, extending out to about 55,000 times the Earth-sun distance—87 percent of a light-year and well out into the Oort Cloud of icy objects that surrounds our sun.
