In 1977, the Ohio State University’s Big Ear radio telescope received an unusually strong narrowband radio signal, leading to widespread excitement about the possibility of having encountered evidence of life beyond Earth. At the time, astronomer Jerry Ehman spotted the highly unusual outburst in printed out records, annotating the major radio band fluctuation with the word “Wow!” in red pen, …

A massive comet traveling through the solar system is much larger than previously thought and could be a remnant of alien technology, a scientist claims in a new report. 3I/ATLAS was first identified in July by NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. The U.S. space agency confirmed the object is an interstellar object – only the third such object to …

IN A NUTSHELL 🪐 The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is speeding through our solar system, intriguing astronomers with its rapid approach. ☀️ A coronal mass ejection from the Sun recently collided with 3I/ATLAS, leading to speculation about its effects. 🔭 Observations reveal a higher carbon dioxide to water ratio, adding mystery to 3I/ATLAS’s composition and origins. 🔍 Scientists are eager to …

The interstellar object dubbed 3I/ATLAS has been fascinating astronomers since its discovery in early July. The object, generally believed to be a comet, is screaming through the solar system at around 137,000 mph, and is expected to make a close pass of Mars as soon as next week. And it recently met some considerable resistance as well during its unusual …

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has confirmed an interstellar object is passing through our solar system. The object is a comet hailing from the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, and is only the third of its kind ever seen, according to Live Science. The comet is officially named 3I/ATLAS and is currently about 420 million miles away, according to …

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen. In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Chile identified a comet that originated from interstellar space. Arriving in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, the comet was dubbed 3I/Atlas. The comet …

A new study has attempted to pin down the properties of interstellar comet 3I/Atlas, finding it is “anomalously massive” at around 33 billion tons.  On July 1, 2025, astronomers spotted an object moving through the Solar System at nearly twice the velocity of previous interstellar visitors ‘Oumuamua and Comet Borisov. The object, which was confirmed to be an interstellar comet …

Astronomers have discovered a new object that could help shed light on mysterious “little red dots” that were first spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2022. The newfound object, dubbed “the Cliff,” suggests that the little red dots represent a totally new class of cosmic objects known as a “black hole star,” the researchers say. This newly …
