Ua ʻike ʻo ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) i kahi moho NEOCP (Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page) hou ma ʻehā mau kiʻi noiʻi he 30-kekona i lawe ʻia ma ka 01 Iulai 2025. Ma muli o ka hahai koke ʻana ua hōʻike ʻia kahi orbit cometary eccentric nui loa.
Ua kapa ʻia ka comet 3I/ATLAS. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia mai ka lewa interstellar. I ka hōʻea ʻana mai ka ʻaoʻao o ka constellation Sagittarius, aia i kēia manawa he 670 miliona mau kilomita mai ka Lā. E hōʻea ʻo ia i kona kokoke loa i ka Lā ma kahi o 30 ʻOkakopa 2025 ma kahi mamao o 210 miliona km i loko o ka orbit o Mars.
E noho ana kēia kometa interstellar ma kahi mamao o 240 miliona km mai iā mākou no laila ʻaʻohe pilikia a hoʻoweliweli paha i ka Honua.
Hāʻawi ka comet 3I/ATLAS i kahi manawa kakaikahi e aʻo ai i kahi mea interstellar i puka mai ma waho o ka ʻōnaehana solar. Manaʻo ʻia e ʻike ʻia e nā telescopes honua no ka nānā ʻana a hiki i Kepakemapa. Ma hope o kēia, e hele kokoke loa i ka Lā e nānā. E ʻike hou ʻia ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka Lā i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Dekemaba no ka nānā hou ʻana.
ʻO ka comet 3I/ATLAS ke kolu o nā mea interstellar i ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻōnaehana solar.
ʻO 1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua ka mea interstellar mua i ʻike ʻia ma kā mākou ʻōnaehana solar. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ma ka 19 ʻOkakopa 2017. Ua ʻike ʻia he mea pōhaku, ʻano cigar me kahi ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula e like me ka comet.
ʻO ka lua o ka mea interstellar ʻo 2I/Borisov. Ua ʻike ʻia ma kā mākou ʻōnaehana solar ma 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}
