3I/ATLAS is 7 miles wide — the largest interstellar object ever seen — new photos from Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveal
Detailed photos from the newly operational Vera C. Rubin Observatory have revealed that the recently discovered interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is roughly 7 miles wide, making it the largest of its kind ever seen.
Hubble Snaps Spooky Photos of Mysterious Interstellar Object Headed Toward Earth
The Hubble Space Telescope has snapped some spooky looking photos of our solar system's newest interstellar invader on the run. The object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, was first spotted careening through the outer limits of the Sun's domain earlier this month, and appears to be a comet. Upon closer inspection, its speed was found to be so incredible that there could be no doubt of its extrasolar origins, making it only the third detected interstellar objec…
The solar system has just been visited by an interstellar intruder. It is called 3I/ATLAS and it is a comet that comes from beyond our borders. It is about 7 billion years old, which means that it is older than the Sun and any planet you know. This comet is only the third interstellar object that we have found entering our system. Before they were 1I/'Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019).But there is something that makes 3I/ATLAS unique: it is …
Astronomers anticipate that, because of their trajectory, it will be possible to contemplate it in different parts of the southern hemisphere.
Interstellar Visitor Zipping Through Our Solar System Could Be a Hostile Probe, Alien-Hyping Scientists Warn - WorldNL Magazine
There’s a visitor in town, and its name is 3I/ATLAS. The presumed interstellar comet presents a rare opportunity for astronomers to study an object born a long time ago in a star system far, far away. But a new paper uploaded to the preprint arXiv server asks an intriguing question: Is the object actually alien technology? For Harvard astronomer and study co-author Abraham Loeb, this is not his first interstellar rodeo. In 2018, Loeb proposed th…
Comet C/2025 K1, known as ATLAS, will make its closest step to Earth, and Argentina is among the best places in the world to observe it.
