Astronomers have identified a potential third interstellar object, designated 3I/ATLAS or A11pl3Z, currently traveling through the solar system at approximately 66 kilometers per second (around 152,000 miles per hour). Discovered by the ATLAS survey on July 1, 2025, and confirmed by NASA and the Minor Planet Center, this icy object is estimated to be up to 20 kilometers wide and is moving on a trajectory that brings it close to planets such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. It is currently near Jupiter and poses no threat to Earth, with its closest approach to Earth expected in October 2025. The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has also provided the first compelling visual evidence of a white dwarf star undergoing a double detonation supernova, confirming a long-debated theory about Type Ia supernovae. The supernova remnant SNR 0509-67.5 shows two concentric rings, indicating the star exploded twice in quick succession, a phenomenon not previously confirmed with photographic evidence. This discovery sheds new light on stellar explosions and the cosmic processes contributing to the universe’s evolution.
