NASA Prepares to Release New Images of Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Nov 19, 2025 09:04 pm CST
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.
Is 3I/ATLAS an Extraordinary Interstellar Object? Harvard Astronomer Challenges Conventional Classification
Nov 18, 2025 08:31 pm CST
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb questions the conventional classification of interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS as a standard comet, highlighting its unusual chemical composition, massive size, and extraordinary jets extending toward the Sun. As it approaches Earth on December 19, scientists and amateur astronomers prepare for unprecedented observation opportunities that may reveal more about this mysterious object's true nature.
Mysterious Comet C/2025 V1 Approaches Earth: Similarities and Differences to Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Nov 12, 2025 03:25 pm CST
A newly discovered comet, C/2025 V1 (Borisov), is racing through our solar system toward Earth and the Sun, exhibiting minor similarities to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. First spotted by amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov, the comet will make its closest approach to Earth on November 11 at a safe distance of 64 million miles. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb describes it as "nearly interstellar" due to its highly inclined trajectory, though experts believe it originated within our solar system.
Mysterious Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Shows Unusual Acceleration and Color Change Puzzling Scientists
Nov 10, 2025 03:01 pm CST
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.
Elon Musk Declares "Never Committing Suicide" During Discussion of Mysterious Blue Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with Joe Rogan
Nov 02, 2025 06:23 pm CST
During a recent Joe Rogan podcast episode, Elon Musk discussed the mysterious interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and made headlines by declaring he would "never commit suicide" while addressing alien conspiracy theories. The comet's unusual properties, including its striking blue color and nickel composition, have sparked scientific interest, with experts like Dr. Avi Loeb noting its multiple anomalous characteristics that challenge conventional explanations.
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Harvard Astrophysicist Suggests Possible Alien Technology Connection
Sep 30, 2025 06:48 pm CST
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.
