Everything We Know About the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

July 2, Nasal 3i/Atlas has revealed the existence of Atlas, only the third inter -cell objects have been observed in the universe. These are objects that exist in intersteller space – the areas between the stars – and which are not gravitally bound to any stars. Two more interstellar objects discovered till today are Comet 1i/Ê»umuamua and 2i/Borisov.

3 I/Atlas was discovered on July 1, when its existence was reported by a telescope in Rio Hartado in Chile, managed by it Asteroid ground effect alerting systemThe Commonly known as Atlas, it is a NASA-Oved system that is to identify and operate Hawaii University Asteroid It can hurt the potential earth. It uses four telescopes – two in Hawaii, one in Chile and one in South Africa – to scan the entire sky several times every night to monitor the heavenly movement.

In addition to three more telescopes at Atlas, the California Institute of Technology has confirmed the invention of the archive in the previous weeks by the Jewi Sky Facility at the Paloma Observatory. The additional observations of 3 I/Atlas were then created by numerous telescopes around the world, gradually revealing more details about it.

3 I/Atlas is estimated in the form of about 20 km. It is currently located about 670 million kilometers from the sun and reached our stars from the bow at about 61 km per second. It is expected to increase its speed as it approaches the sun.

When astronomers studied its orbit, they found that 3 I/Atlas was moving very fast to be bound by the gravity of the sun, and therefore, directly through the solar system and to the inter -center place, it was never seen.
