It's inbound velocity (before being significantly affected by the Sun’s gravity) is very high, estimates put it around 58 km/s relative to the Sun, making it faster than most Solar System comets and even the earlier interstellar visitors. 

Why 3I/ATLAS’ comet has a 'hyperbolic trajectory'?

A Japanese scientist thinks he has observed dark matter at the centre of the Milky Way. He says the halo in the galaxy is a signal being emitted by gamma rays. In October, another group of researchers had also presented similar findings.

Another study claims signals at heart of Milky Way triggered by dark matter

The discovery of 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object after ‘Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019), has reignited debates in the astronomical community. 

7 reasons why 3I/ATLAS and ‘Oumuamua are strikingly similar in nature

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is a cosmic anomaly moving at unprecedented speeds. If it had been on a collision course with Earth, experts say its impact could surpass the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

NASA’s government shutdown is raising questions about how space missions like Voyager-1 continue. Scientists and engineers are still operating the decades-old probe, but federal funding pauses could affect salaries, research, and critical mission updates.

Are NASA scientists working for free? Voyager-1 operations hit by US government shutdown

Freezing NASA’s web presence affects global collaborators, students, researchers, and space enthusiasts. Public access to mission data, educational materials, and science news is cut off, at least temporarily.

End of space news? NASA’s website shuts down, no updates until govt funds space agency

Traditional ground-based data centres now demand massive amounts of electricity and water, with projections showing their energy usage doubling over the next decade, raising urgent concerns about sustainability and cost.

AI data centres in space? Jeff Bezos thinks its possible in next 10 years

As the comet approaches the Sun, solar heating will cause its icy nucleus to sublimate, releasing gas and dust. This will create a bright coma and tail, making 3I/ATLAS potentially visible to the naked eye under dark skies.

8 things that could happen if 3I/ATLAS gets close to Earth

The firewall helps scientists understand how our solar system interacts with interstellar space. Voyager’s data on plasma density and magnetic fields gives clues about how stars protect their planets.

‘50,000°C firewall’: How Voyager fights the invisible shield protecting our solar system

Any future spacecraft crossing into interstellar space will need to consider these charged particle environments. Studying such regions is essential for predicting how plasma shields might behave around other stars.

'50,000°C but no fire?': Voyager redefined our understanding of heat while being in firewall

Even with just four, the instruments can reveal how the heliosphere interacts with interstellar space, how charged particles behave outside the Sun’s influence, and how magnetic fields shape the cosmic environment.

'Only 4 instruments alive': Can NASA's Voyager still unlock secrets of interstellar space?

Voyager’s survival through this so-called “firewall” demonstrates how a probe launched in 1977 continues to provide insights at the furthest edge of the solar system, a frontier where human knowledge remains limited.

The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is an open star cluster in the constellation Taurus. Located about 444 light years from Earth, it is one of the most recognisable features in the night sky.
