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, and its unknown origins have sparked both intrigue and excitement among scientists and the public alike.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to monitor the intriguing developments surrounding 3I/ATLAS and prepare for a cosmic experience like no other!
As it turns out, a recent coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading directly toward the interstellar comet ATLAS! And amateur astronomers are now asking: how often does something like this happen? Almost never — which makes it well worth watching. According to NASA’s forecast model, the CME that erupted on September 19 is expected to…
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.
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. To read the full article >>
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 —…
