Interstellar Visitor Alert! C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), aka 3I/ATLAS, is the 3rd confirmed interstellar comet zooming through our solar system! Discovered July 1, 2025, this CO₂-rich, 1km icy body hails from another star. Bright, active, and ancient (7B yrs old), it’s passing 1.6 AU from Earth, no threat. Hubble, JWST, and Gemini South reveal a growing tail as it nears the Sun (perihelion Oct 29). No alien tech here, despite buzz—just a cosmic time capsule! Follow NASA/JPL for updates. #Interstellar #Comet #Space
