A cosmic object of unknown origin restated the scientific community. 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar body that entered our solar system and showed unusual signs.Among them, a non-gravitational acceleration and a color bluer than the Sun.The data collected indicated that the acceleration of the object would not be explained by the action of gravity.This, in theory, could occur due to a natural phenomenon in comets called outgassing, where the body lose…
The recent appearance of comet 3I ATLAS in the sky has sparked fascination and debate within the scientific community. This interstellar object, the third confirmed after ‘Oumuamua’ and ‘Borisov’, was discovered in July 2015 by the ATLAS observation system in Chile. Its unusual brightness, which at one point rivaled that of the Sun, and its deep-space origin have made it a unique phenomenon.
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Stuns Scientists with Surprising Bright Outburst and Ancient Origins
A Visitor From Beyond the Solar System In July 2025, astronomers discovered something extraordinary: a dim, fuzzy comet hurtling toward the inner solar system on a path not bound to the Sun. Follow-up observations confirmed this object – now named 3I/ATLAS (for the ATLAS survey that found it) – was on a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning it came from interstellar space and would soon depart forever science.nasa.gov en.wikipedia.org. The “3I” designa…
Avi Loeb, professor of science at Harvard University, criticized NASA for “hidding evidence” of comet 3I/ATLAS and that the European Space Agency has done a better follow-up The passage of comet 3I/ATLAS has left several questions, and Avi Loeb, professor of science and director of the Institute at Harvard University, who has questioned the exercise of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or better known as NASA. To the point of po…
