A team of astronomers detected the third interstellar object that crosses the solar system in the history of space observation. The body, called 3I/Atlas, is a large comet that travels at a speed greater than 200,000 km/h. The finding occurred on Tuesday at an observatory in Chile and specialists confirmed that it does not represent a risk of impact to the Earth.How 3I/Atlas is, the “interstellar object” approachingThe Minor Planet Center of the…
On July 1, we discovered the existence of 3I/ATLAS, a mysterious interstellar object that could come from beyond our solar system.
A new and enigmatic cosmic visitor keeps the international scientific community on the fly. It is an object of about 24 kilometers wide, detected on July 1st by the System of Last Earth Impact Alert of Asteroids (ATLAS), which travels through space at an estimated speed of 217,000 kilometers per hour. Baptized as 3I/ATLAS, it was initially thought that it was a natural interstellar comet coming from another star system, with a journey that could…
The 3I/ATLAS interstellar object was discovered on July 1, 2025. It is expected to reach a distance of 53.6 million kilometers from Jupiter on March 16, 2026. Now Harvard physicist Avi Loeb proposes to intercept it using the Juno spacecraft. This article exposes the findings of the [...]
