For months, scientists and researchers have been captivated by the enigmatic interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS. Its unusual behaviour sparked speculation that it might not be a comet at all, but something far more extraordinary. Now, fresh images could finally help settle the debate and challenge the boldest theories about its true nature.
Discovered in July 2025, the comet-like body drew closer to Earth in December before continuing its journey through the Solar System. Astronomers expect it to pass near Jupiter this spring, after which it will resume its voyage into deep space.
