3I/ATLAS Updates: It’s Showing The Strangest Color And Behavior We’ve Ever Seen
5273I/ATLAS is streaking through our solar system right now, and for the first time ever, astronomers have measured a comet with more carbon dioxide than water—something never seen before, not even in our own solar system. Don’t click away—you’ll get the exact numbers on this bizarre chemistry and find out how this single discovery could reveal what ancient star systems were made of, changing what we thought we knew about the building blocks of planets and life.
The story of 3I/ATLAS began on July 1, 2025, when the ATLAS survey in Hawaii picked up a faint, fast-moving object. Its path was unmistakably hyperbolic, meaning it’s not from around here and it’s never coming back. This is only the third time in history we’ve caught an object from another star system passing through our cosmic neighborhood, and this one is a heavyweight. Early estimates suggest it’s much larger than ‘Oumuamua or Borisov, possibly stretching dozens of kilometers across, and it’s moving at a breakneck pace—over 26 kilometers per second. That’s about 94,000 kilometers per hour, fast enough to cross the distance from Earth to the Moon in under five hours.
