New Photos of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Reveal Massive Jet Pointing Toward the Sun
Newly captured images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveal a spectacular jet of gas and dust shooting directly toward the Sun, offering scientists a closer look at the object’s natural behavior. First detected in late June and confirmed by NASA in July, 3I/ATLAS originates from a distant star system and is only the third interstellar object ever observed entering our solar system. Measuring between 5 and 11 kilometers wide, it is the largest interstellar visitor discovered so far and may also be the oldest, with an age estimated at billions of years, predating the formation of the Sun.
