3I/ATLAS Surprises Astronomers with Bright Green Transformation!

“3I/ATLAS Surprises Astronomers with Bright Green Transformation!”
The Manhattan-sized interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has just baffled astronomers by suddenly turning green as it moves closer to the Sun. Recent observations from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope detected powerful emissions of cyanide and nickel gases, causing the glow to shift dramatically from red to green. Unlike normal comets, 3I/ATLAS shows no classic tail, scatters light toward the Sun, and may even be emitting its own light. Scientists describe this as a “switch-on” process, triggered once the object crossed a critical temperature threshold. With only a 0.02% chance of an interstellar body passing through our inner solar system, this is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery. In this video, we explore why this glow matters, what it tells us about alien planetary systems, and why 3I/ATLAS could reshape our cosmic understanding.
