For the first time, an interstellar object emits a detectable radio signal from Earth. The protagonist is 3I/ATLAS, a cosmic visitor who has revealed an unexpected feature: the presence of hydroxyl radicals (OH) absorbed in its environment. This finding, made by the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, marks a new chapter in the study of [...]
3I/ATLAS Radio Signal Detected, Lines Up With 1977 'Wow! Signal'
The most mysterious interstellar visitor of our time has just spoken. After months of exhibiting bizarre behaviour—including lacking a visible tail and moving on an unprecedented trajectory—the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has finally yielded its first successful radio detection, confirming it is 'actively interacting' with its environment. This major breakthrough, achieved by a South African observatory after two failed attempts, has catapulted…
The 3iATLAS interstellar object is a space entity that issued a signal at 1.6 GHz, highlighting in the study of extraterrestrial electromagnetic waves. It discovers its impact on astronomical research. According to "First Radio Signal from 3I/ATLAS: Absorption by Hydroxyl Radicals (OH Molecules)" Avi Loeb
