A new report from the UVES spectrograph of the European Very Large Telescope in Chile provides data on the anomalous abundance of nickel and iron in the plume of gas surrounding the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS.
the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is anomalously massive and large! In a new paper (accessible here) shows the data on the motion of 3I/ATLAS — as compiled by the Minor Planet Center between May 15 and September 23, 2025, to set an upper limit on the deviation of 3I/ATLAS from a trajectory sculpted by gravity alone.
The unusual characteristics of 3I/ATLAS have led to widespread media coverage and public fascination. As scientists continue to study its trajectory and composition, theories abound regarding its origin and potential implications for Earth. With its approach, the excitement surrounding potential encounters with extraterrestrial life has reached new heights.
3I/ATLAS has been classified as an interstellar comet, designated C/2025 N1. Its unbound path suggests that it is not gravitationally bound to our Solar System, making its visit a rare occurrence. The object has stirred speculation about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and has even been linked to various cultural prophecies regarding alien contact in…
The lack of visible interest from NASA in 3I/ATLAS has led to a wave of rumors and suspicions about the nature of this unusual cosmic object. However, it turns out that since August 6, the JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) has been closely watching 3I/ATLAS with wide-open eyes and listening with all its ears —…
In a stunning turn of events, astronomers have confirmed the approach of an enigmatic interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS. Discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey in Chile, this interstellar comet is capturing global attention as it travels on a hyperbolic trajectory towards our Sun. The perihelion is set for October 29, 2025,…
