Comet 3I/ATLAS: A Nickel-Rich Mystery from Beyond the Stars Astronomers have confirmed a third interstellar visitor to our solar system: Comet 3I/ATLAS. First detected in July 2025 by the ATLAS survey in Chile, its hyperbolic trajectory proves it originated outside our solar system. Unlike typical comets, 3I/ATLAS is actively outgassing despite its small nucleus, estimated to be less than one kilometer wide. It ejects dust grains at rates up to 1 kilogram per second, with particles ranging from

Comet Dust Tail
A comet’s tail doesn’t trail behind like dust from a dump truck, it’s driven by the solar wind. As the comet sweeps through perihelion, solar radiation pushes particles outward, forcing the tail to twist and always point away from the Sun. Each passage is a dance between fire and ice, motion and light, perfectly aligned with cosmic geometry. | The Randall Carlson
