Out of this world. Or more accurately, this solar system.
In July 1, the astronomers discovered an object near the orbit of Jupiter, which was somewhat positioned. There was a strange orbit that did not get around the sun like the most asteroid or comet.
Finally, this object was 3i / ATLAS or C / 2025 N1 (Atlas) – a stouser visitor.
Now the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) used the North Telescope in Hawaii, the astronomers seized the first detailed image of this space interloper.
“Before continuing this facility in the refrigerator and the stars, we expect new information and concepts warmed in the sunshine,” Martin said Martin’s NSF program for the International Twins Observatory, NSF program.
The comet will continue to appear on the Great Telescope until September, and then the sun will be lost.
More information about comets
“Because this is the only third-star intercontroom guest, this is also pleased to discover the whole new object for me,” he said.
Astronomers like to learn cometes and asteroids because they remain the earliest formation of our solar system, and in this case what conditions can be shown. Being able to learn something outside our neighborhood can tell you more about other star systems.
Current observations show that the comet is larger than a astronomer of about 20 kilometers in diameter and previous two-star comets.
Was the first comet ‘OumuamuaHaving a diameter of a diameter of a 200 meter. Was the second 2i / Borisovwhich is a kilometer of the diameter.
3i / the higher the atlas is so large, a boon for astronomers: especially facilitates learning near the earth. In December, it will take a close approach, but does not pose any danger.
One The last job provided by the author Matthew Hopkins At the 2025 national Astronomical meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society, the UK’s city of Durham shows that the oldest comet of this new visitor can be the oldest comet.
He calculates the origin from one part of our galaxy for ancient stars, and it says that our solar system can be seven billion years older than 4.5 billion years old.
And this new visitor Hustling: He traveled about 61 kilometers per second when discovered.
How they know this is not our neighborhood
Astronomers can determine the origin of comets or asteroids based on the eccentricity of orbits or its way.
The eccentricity of 0 means a perfect circular orbit. One greater eccentricity of one’s orbit does not circle around the Sun and the higher the cost has extended the orbit.
Clock | Orbit of the third-famous stoneling facility:
Astronomers calculated the orbit of the third-famous recognized comet. Will be closest to the ground in October.
3i / in the work of the Atlas, orbit was 6.2, astronomers knew that they were outside the solar system. For comparison, ‘OUMUAMUA’nın 1.2 and 2i / Borisov had eccentricity 3.6.
Currently, this new comet is still in the orbit of Jupiter 465 million kilometers from the ground. This will be closest to our planet on December 19, about 270 million kilometers.
On October 30, on October 30, the Sun will be located 210 million kilometers inside the Sun, only Mars.
Although astronomers learn some things about this new interloper, they hope to learn more over time.
“This is a comet like a comet from our own solar system, mainly, this is a subtle or fuzzy appearance in the light of our Sun, it turns into an image that appears in the image,” he said.
“But we really don’t really know that our comets (the block of the rest of the building when the earth and planets are the block of the rest of the remaining building) or as a completely different thing.”
