Humanity is about to zoom in on one of the strangest visitors ever to sweep through our Solar System, as NASA is preparing to unveil the sharpest images yet of the Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. The release could finally move the debate from wild speculation to hard evidence.
These images were snapped by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera as 3I/ATLAS cruised past the Red Planet between 1 October and 7 October. However, their release was delayed by the recent US government shutdown. NASA told The Post the long-awaited shots could arrive as early as next week, setting the stage for a major moment in space science.
