This interstellar object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is still pretty far from the sun, currently located between the orbits of the asteroid belt and Jupiter but heading toward the inner solar system.

I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), originated in a distant star system, far beyond the boundaries of our solar system.

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1, is a comet from interstellar space, meaning it originated in another star system and entered our solar system on a one-time flyby. It was first spotted by the ATLAS ...

Anatomy of an interstellar object Comet 3I/ATLAS follows two other intriguing interstellar objects, called ISOs, that once passed through our solar system: ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

Until now, astronomers had only spotted two confirmed interstellar objects. The first was ‘Oumuamua, a small, cigar-shaped object that visited our solar system in 2017.
