The most mysterious interstellar visitor of our time has just spoken. After months of exhibiting bizarre behaviour—including lacking a visible tail and moving on an unprecedented trajectory—the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has finally yielded its first successful radio detection, confirming it is 'actively interacting' with its environment.
This major breakthrough, achieved by a South African observatory after two failed attempts, has catapulted the object from being 'just a comet' into a primary target for researchers searching for extraterrestrial life.
