3I Atlas Comet Updates
The 3I/ATLAS comet was first spotted in July near Jupiter after it entered our solar system from another universe.
Discovery and Naming
The comet was discovered on July 1, 2025, out near Jupiter. It got its name because it is the third interstellar object known to have visited our solar system (3I), and because ATLAS was the telescope in Chile that discovered the object, according to Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb.
Current Status and Speculations
The 3I/ATLAS comet is continuing its journey through our solar system, making its way around the sun and back again. Avi Loeb has been closely tracking this object and exploring the possibility that it could even be alien technology.
