According to recent observations, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be becoming blue after experiencing an abrupt and swift brightening event while concealed behind the sun. Experts have observed a possible color shift in the comet three times now, but none of them have persisted. In early July, 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object to reach our solar system, was observed hurtling toward the sun at over 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). The comet was probably evicted from its home star system, out in the Milky Way’s frontier, more than 7 billion years ago, making it possibly the oldest of its kind ever observed. It has since traveled through interstellar space before arriving at our solar system.
The hue of “Interstellar visitor” 3I/ATLAS may have recently changed for the third time.
