Explanation
It has come from outer space. An object that has come from outside our solar system is passing inside our solar system and between Earth and Mars at high speed. This is only the third object in 3I/Atlas that has been identified through macroscopic eyes, which is an alien object. You can see the trajectory of this comet as it is featured on the map in white, which is visible to you in gold, red, and blue.
Â
Currently, this comet 3I/Atlas is at the distance of Jupiter from the Sun, whose closest approach to the Sun, which would happen through the orbit of Mars, is expected before the end of October. It is also expected that this comet will pass near both Jupiter and Mars.Â
Â
It is also expected that it will not pass near the Earth. The origin of this comet 3I/Atlas is still unknown. So far, you are getting indications from the initial activity that this is a normal comet, but observations that are likely to happen in the future are still ongoing.
MarsyFact of the Day
An interesting fact about space is that the space is completely silent. We know that sound requires air to travel from one place to another, but space is a vacuum, which means there are not enough air particles in space that the air can carry the sound, and waves cannot be transmitted from one place to another.Â
