ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System) yapeza munthu watsopano wa NEOCP (Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page) pazithunzi zinayi za kafukufuku wa masekondi 30 zomwe zinatengedwa pa 01 July 2025. Kafukufuku wotsatira mwamsanga adavumbulutsa njira yodabwitsa kwambiri, hyperbolic cometary orbit.
Comet yatchedwa 3I/ATLAS. Izi zinachokera ku interstellar space. Kufika kuchokera komwe kuli gulu la nyenyezi la Sagittarius, pakadali pano ili pamtunda wa makilomita 670 miliyoni kuchokera ku Dzuwa. Idzafika pafupi kwambiri ndi Dzuwa pafupi ndi 30 October 2025 pamtunda wa makilomita 210 miliyoni mkati mwa Mars.
Comet iyi ya interstellar idzakhalabe pamtunda wa makilomita 240 miliyoni kuchokera kwa ife choncho palibe chiopsezo kapena chiwopsezo padziko lapansi.
Comet 3I/ATLAS imapereka mwayi wosowa wophunzirira chinthu chapakati pa nyenyezi chomwe chinachokera kunja kwa solar system. Akuyembekezeka kukhalabe akuwoneka ndi ma telescope oyambira pansi kuti awonedwe mpaka Seputembala. Zitatha izi, zidzadutsa pafupi kwambiri ndi Dzuwa kuti ziwone. Idzawonekeranso mbali ina ya Dzuwa pofika kumayambiriro kwa December kuti iwonetsedwenso.
Comet 3I/ATLAS ndi chinthu chachitatu chapakati pa nyenyezi chomwe chimawonedwa mu solar system.
1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua anali chinthu choyamba chapakati pa nyenyezi chomwe chimawonedwa mu dongosolo lathu la dzuŵa. Zinapezeka pa 19 October 2017. Zinkawoneka ngati chinthu chamwala, chooneka ngati ndudu chokhala ndi mtundu wina wofiyira chinkachita zinthu ngati comet.
Chinthu chachiwiri chapakati pa nyenyezi chinali 2I/Borisov. Zinawonedwa mu solar system yathu mu 2019.

 has discovered a new NEOCP (Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page) candidate in four 30-second survey images taken on 01 July 2025. Immediate follow up study revealed a highly eccentric, hyperbolic cometary orbit. The comet has been named 3I/ATLAS. It originated from interstellar space.){kind=link}
