Astronomers Spot a 7-Billion-Year-Old Interstellar Comet – Could It Be the Oldest Ever Seen?

The ATLAS telescope in Chile detected 3I/ATLAS near Jupiter’s orbit on July 1, 2025, confirming it as the third known interstellar object. The nucleus measures 6–15 miles across and travels at 130,000 mph, with a perihelion expected on October 30 at 1.4 AU from the Sun. It will not come closer to Earth than 1.8 AU. Early observations show a faint coma, and scientists expect a tail to develop as it nears the Sun.

  • Elon Musk Demands Banks Buy Grok Subscriptions for SpaceX IPO
    April 3, 2026, 11:42 PM EDT. Elon Musk insists the five banks working on SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO)-Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley-must purchase subscriptions to Grok, Musk's AI product. The expected IPO could raise over $50 billion, valuing SpaceX above $1 trillion and potentially reaching $2 trillion, making it possibly the largest IPO ever. Banks advising on the deal could earn fees exceeding $500 million. Musk's market influence continues through his stakes in Tesla, which holds a market cap above $1 trillion, alongside a $1 trillion pay package tied to Tesla's future growth benchmarks. Legal advice on the IPO comes from Gibson Dunn and Davis Polk.
