Astronomers detected the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025, using the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System telescope in Chile. This marks the third confirmed interstellar visitor to our solar system, following ‘Oumuamua in 2017 and Borisov in 2019. NASA has classified it as a comet, estimating its size at 10 to 24 kilometers in diameter. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has analyzed images showing an unusual glow at the object’s front rather than a trailing tail typical of comets. He argues this brightness cannot result from reflected sunlight or standard outgassing of volatiles like water or carbon dioxide. Loeb’s calculations indicate the luminosity reaches gigawatt levels, which he attributes to a possible internal power source. Loeb has ruled out natural explanations such as a primordial…
