3I/ATLAS is currently closer to Earth than it will ever be. So, naturally, astronomers around the world have their telescopes glued to the skies trying to catch a view of the much-debated and alien-rumoured interstellar object. Especially in 2025, extraordinary claims about 3I/ATLAS have gone viral on social media.
Now, users on platforms like Twitter and astronomy forums have shared shocking images purportedly showing the comet with a perfectly dark central void surrounded by a glowing ring. Some have gone as far as to say that this apparent form is unlike anything ever seen in a natural comet, implying that this object might be hollow or even artificial or alien in nature.
