“Scientists are weighing up the possibility of intercepting an interstellar object hurtling towards our solar system at speed. The mysterious intergalactic object is believed to have been travelling the vast emptiness of space for billions of years at speeds of over 130,000 miles per hour. Nasa first became aware of the object, which was been named 3I/ATLAS, on July 1 — and it is only the third time a visitor from another star has been spotted in our region of space. Other intergalactic visitors sighted include Oumuamua in 2017 and the Borisov comet in 2019. 3I/ATLAS is set to reach its closest point to our sun on October 30, over 130,000 million miles away, before disappearing again. However, some scientists have been discussing the possibility of sending a spacecraft to intercept the mysterious visitor before it vanishes from our solar system forever.” (08/07/25)
