Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: A Visitor from Beyond the Solar System

Ancient Alien Messenger or Cosmic Time Capsule? Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Stuns Scientists with Secrets

Meet the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS – A Visitor From Beyond When astronomers spotted a faint new comet on July 1, 2025, they quickly realized it was no ordinary comet. Its official designation, 3I/ATLAS, tells the tale: “3I” means it’s the third interstellar object ever recorded, and “ATLAS” credits the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System survey telescope (in Río Hurtado, Chile) that discovered it scientificamerican.com. In the days following discovery, observatories around the world rushed to calculate its orbit – and the results were stunning. Unlike normal comets bound in elliptical orbits around the Sun, 3I/ATLAS was on a one-way hyperbolic

Double Meteor Shower Spectacle: Draconid and Orionid Displays Will Light Up October’s Night Sky

Meteor Mania Incoming: Supermoon, Fireballs and Aurora Alerts in Early November 2025

Major Meteor Showers Lighting Up Early November Early November’s sky features long-running meteor showers rather than any single dramatic outburst. The Southern Taurids (active late Sept–Nov 12, peak ~Nov 5) and Northern Taurids (Oct 13–Dec 2, peak ~Nov 9) are joined by the annual Leonid stream (active Nov 3–Dec 2, peak Nov 17). AMS notes that these two Taurid sources and the Leonids “keep the skies active” in November, making it one of the better months for northern observers amsmeteors.org. In practice, the Taurids each produce only a handful of meteors per hour under dark skies, but many are fireballs. AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada explains that the Taurids

Beaver Supermoon 2025: Get Ready for the Biggest, Brightest Full Moon of the Year

What Is a Supermoon? A supermoon is not an official astronomical term, but rather a popular way to describe a full moon that coincides with the Moon’s perigee (its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit). As NASA explains, the Moon’s orbit is oval-shaped, so full moons can occur at varying distances. When a full moon happens near perigee, the Moon appears larger and brighter in our sky livescience.com. In fact, NASA notes that the full Moon can look up to ~14% bigger and 30% brighter at perigee than at its farthest point (apogee) livescience.com. Such perigee full moons

Ancient Alien Visitor? Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Blazes Through Our Solar System

A Visitor From Beyond the Solar System On July 1, 2025, astronomers in Chile spotted a faint, fast-moving object that immediately stood out. Follow-up measurements showed it was on a hyperbolic orbit – not bound to our Sun – confirming it came from interstellar space ts2.tech. The discovery was officially designated 3I/ATLAS, where “3I” denotes the third Interstellar object ever observed, and “ATLAS” credits the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System survey that found it ts2.tech. This find electrified scientists. “This is only the third such interstellar comet we’ve ever been able to study, and planetary scientists are super excited to

Ancient Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Nears Sun – A 10-Billion-Year Visitor Ignites Awe and Alien Speculation

Discovery and Designation Comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, 2025 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey telescope at Río Hurtado, Chile esa.int. ATLAS – a NASA-funded sky survey designed to spot incoming asteroids – detected a faint magnitude ~18 object moving against the starry background ras.ac.uk. Initially catalogued as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) under comet naming conventions, the object raised immediate excitement because its orbit did not appear bound to the Sun ts2.tech. Within days, astronomers determined the new comet was on a highly hyperbolic trajectory, not a closed ellipse like ordinary comets. In August 2025 the International

Mysterious Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Nears Sun – 10-Billion-Year Visitor Sparks Alien Theories and Scientific Awe

Key Facts and Highlights A Visitor From Beyond the Solar System In July 2025, astronomers spotted a faint newcomer inbound toward the Sun – one that was not gravitationally bound to our star at all. The object, now designated 3I/ATLAS, is only the third interstellar visitor ever detected in our solar system ts2.tech. (The “3I” prefix marks it as the third Interstellar object.) It was first observed on July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS sky-survey telescope in Río Hurtado, Chile, and its discovery immediately caused excitement. The reason? Its orbit was hyperbolic, meaning it’s not a periodic comet from our Oort

Harvard Scientist’s Halloween Warning: Comet 3I/ATLAS May Hide Alien Tech and Spark Market Chaos

A Mysterious Interstellar Comet Approaches the Sun An interstellar mystery object is streaking through our Solar System this week, captivating scientists and skywatchers alike. Officially designated 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), this object is only the third visitor ever confirmed to come from beyond our Solar System ts2.tech. It follows in the footsteps of the cigar-shaped 1I/’Oumuamua (detected in 2017) and comet 2I/Borisov (in 2019) ts2.tech. But 3I/ATLAS is proving to be a unique cosmic guest of its own.
