Astronomers have identified Comet 3I/ATLAS as an interstellar object, making it only the third confirmed visitor from outside our solar system, according to NASA.<br /><br />The comet is travelling on a hyperbolic trajectory,

No. The significance of October 29 in the scientific community lies in 3I/ATLAS’ making a close approach. It is on this date, the comet will be the closest to planet Earth, allowing researchers to study it. Despite it’s closest approach, it must be noted that the comet will still be far away from the planet, posing no threat.

Famed scientist Avi Loeb is investigating the newly found quasi-moon 2025 PN7, questioning if it is an artificial alien probe.

NASA has announced that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS will approach Earth on October 29, 2025, marking its closest encounter at approximately 167 million miles away.
