Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of a comet from beyond our Solar System ☄️
The comet was first spotted on 1 July 2025 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Río Hurtado, Chile. Its unusual trajectory immediately raised suspicions that it originated from interstellar space. This was later confirmed by astronomers around the world, and the object was given its formal designation: 3I/ATLAS, indicating its status as the third known interstellar object.
ESA astronomers are using telescopes in Hawaii, Chile, and Australia to monitor the comet’s progress. These efforts are part of ESA’s broader mission to detect, track, and characterise near-Earth objects – though 3I/ATLAS is not considered one, due to its distance from our planet.

Well well well , for now this is a inter stellar object in the future this could be a " we where wrong " moment , just on the trejectory alone they conclude its not from our solar system but they do not know how the trejectoey was achieved , its like calculating a ricoche bullet , you cant tell
I do belive there is objects in the Galaxy , like a swarm of objects we fly threw this clouds of debrie approx every 150 mil years scaring every moon and planet in its path
Youre looking in the wrong place.
Will we be able to do any sort of chemical analysis of the asteroid? What are you expecting to see from one?
Thanks 🎉
♥️🇨🇦♥️
I just can’t even wrap my head around how we have this technology
