The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has become the centre of an intensifying scientific debate, with renowned physicist Dr Michio Kaku and Harvard astrophysicist Professor Avi Loeb calling for complete transparency and deeper analysis of its unusual characteristics.
Formally designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), the object was detected on 1 July 2025 by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile, marking only the third confirmed interstellar visitor to enter our solar system after 'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov.
