Another 3I Atlas image, mysterious! Hubble & JWST saw what Shouldn’t Exist, Stranger than Oumuamua
""This is not just rare… it’s unprecedented”.
The newly discovered interstellar comet 3I/Atlas isn’t only capturing the attention of every giant observatory on Earth — now, the two greatest space telescopes ever built, James Webb and Hubble, are locking their gaze on this one cosmic target. Two telescopes, two very different eyes — one piercing deep with infrared vision, the other slicing through the universe in ultraviolet light. Yet they share the same goal: to strip away the layers of mystery surrounding 3I/Atlas.

It could be something beyond imagination, something far beyond the limits of human understanding — and that’s exactly why we must explore it. And yes… that includes the possibility it could be artificial. Perhaps an alien probe, or even a wandering rogue planet. Basically, the mysteries remain… the questions keep piling up… and we must find the answers. That’s when the most powerful telescopes in the world step in.
On August 6, 2025, the JWST officially “locked on” to 3I/ATLAS, carrying out its first observation using the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec). This marks the beginning of a months-long research campaign aimed at uncovering the object’s chemical composition, activity, and true origin — before it reaches perihelion at the end of October.

Specifically, on October 29th, 3I/ATLAS will reach perihelion — the closest point to the Sun in its orbit. What makes 3I/ATLAS extraordinary is that it doesn’t follow a stable orbit within our Solar System. Instead, it’s simply passing through at a tremendous speed — over 60 km per second — fast enough to escape the Sun’s gravity after it departs. This is the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected entering our Solar System.
At perihelion, the comet will travel inside Mars’s orbit, closer to the Sun than ever before in its journey. The intense solar heating will cause its icy surface to sublimate, producing the glowing coma and bright tail typical of comets. After October 29th, 3I/ATLAS will continue its voyage, making its closest approach to Earth on December 19th, 2025.
