The novelty, 3i/Atlas, moves with hyperbolic orbit at a speed of 60 km/s and has already interested scientists worldwide.
Astronomers record something new, which probably came from the depths of the Interstellar space. About this the career writes with a reference to NASA.
The mysterious 3I/Atlas was discovered on July 1 using the Atlas telescope in Observatory in Chile. According to preliminary estimates, it can be the third in the history of a well -known interstellar body crossing the solar system.
The object moves at a speed of 60 km/s in hyperbolic orbit and is currently at a distance of over 670 million kilometers from the sun. According to scientists, its trajectory indicates that 3i/atlas is not a “local”, but a real traveler space.
After discovering, scientists noticed the comet activity – a weak tail to a person. As a result, the object was also given the name C/2025 N1.
Some scientists suggest that 3i/atlas can reach up to 20 km in diameter – this is more than an asteroid previously caused by the extinction of dinosaurs. However, experts have confirmed: the thing is not threatening the world.
The closest to day 3i/atlas is approximately approximately October 30 -at a distance of 130 million kilometers. After that, the solar system will probably leave.
“Currently, it is not expected that the comet will be seen by the bare eyes, but it will be seen through an amateur telescope by the end of 2025 – early 2026. As it studies in the next few weeks, we will get a better idea of how much it will be seen,” Jake Foster added from the Royal Observatory in Grinvich.
Earlier it was reported that in 2026 French astronaut Sophie Adeno was going to the ISS with a menu, developed by the famous Chef Ann-Sofi Pick, the owner of 10 Michelin Stars.
