Nasa has released new images of an interstellar object that astronomers say is a comet that could be older than the solar system.

Named 3I/ATLAS, it was first spotted in July by a telescope in Chile and has been tracked by astronomers since then.

It is thought to have formed eight billion years ago.

The agency said the comet does not pose any threat to Earth.
