    NASA is set to unveil new images of 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar comet estimated to be over 8 billion years old - predating our own solar system. Discovered in July by an ATLAS telescope in Chile, this is only the third confirmed interstellar object observed passing through our solar system. While some have speculated about potential alien origins, scientists confirm its behavior is consistent with a natural comet. The object poses no threat to Earth and is now exiting our solar system.

    Scientists worldwide are studying 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar visitor to our solar system, which has exhibited puzzling behaviors including unexpected acceleration, a shift to blue coloration, and the disappearance of its tail. Discovered in July by a Chilean telescope, the comet will make its closest approach to Earth in December at a safe distance of 269 million kilometers, with NASA and ESA continuing to track its journey toward Jupiter through 2026.

    Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his research team have determined that Comet 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar visitor to our solar system, may be significantly larger than initially believed—potentially exceeding 33 billion tons in mass with a nucleus diameter over 3.1 miles. The object's unusual trajectory and non-gravitational acceleration have led researchers to consider whether it could be an artificial technological artifact potentially carrying active intelligence as it passes near multiple planets in our solar system.
