VLT maakt nieuwe beelden van de interstellaire komeet 3I/ATLAS
Astronomen hebben met behulp van de Very Large Telescope nieuwe beelden gemaakt van 3I/ATLAS, het derde interstellaire object dat ooit is waargenomen.
Deze VLT/FORS2 afbeelding, gemaakt op 3 juli 2025, toont de interstellaire komeet 3I/ATLAS.

[Перевод] Третий межзвездный
Астрономы обнаружили третий межзвездный объект в Солнечной системе. 02.07.2025, Дэвид Дикинсон, Universe Today Объект, о котором идет речь, в настоящее время имеет звездную величину +18, медленно перемещаясь вдоль границы созвездий Хвост Змеи и Стрельца, около галактической плоскости. Объект был запечатлен 2 июля дистанционным телескопом Deep Random Survey в Чили. Система ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System), базирующаяся в Рио-Уртадо, сделала открытие 1 июля. Сэм Дин вскоре подкрепил это предваряющими открытие снимками с площадок ATLAS по всему миру в Чили, на Гавайях и в Южной Африке с 25 по 29 июня.

🚀 Ein neues interstellares Objekt namens A11pl3Z wurde im Sonnensystem entdeckt! Es ist rund 10–20 km groß, stellt keine Gefahr für die Erde dar und wird bis Oktober heller, wenn es sich der Sonne nähert. Ein spannender Fund für die Forschung! 🌌🔭

☄️ Après Oumuamua et la comète 2I/Borisov, des astronomes ont identifié un 3e visiteur interstellaire potentiel, provisoirement désigné #A11pl3Z. L'objet suit une trajectoire hyperbolique avec une excentricité exceptionnellement élevée, indiquant une origine interstellaire

Sadly it appears the official name is 3I/ATLAS – I mean even just going with 3I/Sauce would've been more entertaining. Oh well.
I'm still disappointed that interstellar objects get the "I" (letter eye) prefix though. I mean, any astute techy person knows you don't use G, O, or I in alphanumeric handles/names because they look like numeric 6, zero and one or lowercase L. It creates ambiguity that nobody wants.

The object's name is #A11pl3Z which I can only read as "all please." Nothing ominous there... -

A mysterious object known as #A11pl3Z appears to be only the third #interstellar interloper to be detected passing through our solar system. Don't panic: This object has no chance of hitting Earth. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/07/02/scientists-suspect-theyve-found-a-third-interstellar-object/ #Space #InterstellarObject

Quick, stop all your radio transmissions and stay silent. Or maybe it's something that's using our sun for a slingshot maneuver so it looks like it originated from our solar system.

Hmm, if the intriguing new interstellar object was spotted from Chile by the ATLAS survey program, then it must've been at the El Sauce observatory, which is a pretty great name.
Maybe they can name the object with a good Spanish sauce name - like Mole, or Romesco or Mojo.

Renders of the 3 interstellar objects on their day of discovery using the Catalina Sky Survey Orbit Viewer. Thx to @Apophis for that tool!

Since I was asked:
Interstellar object 3I / #A11pl3Z will not be passing close enough to Earth to be observed by #TeamRadar.
Alas for the loss of Arecibo (although depending on the exact size of 3I, even Arecibo might not have been enough).

Avvistato un oggetto che probabilmente proviene dall'esterno del Sistema Solare. E' stato chiamato #A11pl3Z. Se confermato, sarebbe il terzo oggetto interstellare mai osservato

New interstellar object candidate heading toward the sun https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/
"We only know of 2 other interstellar objects that have entered into our solar system before. And now we may have a 3rd interstellar visitor: #A11pl3Z. Its trajectory suggests it didn’t originate inside our own solar system"
Astronomers may have found a third interstellar object https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/07/astronomers-may-have-found-a-third-interstellar-object/
"Early on Wednesday, the European Space Agency confirmed that the object did indeed have interstellar origins"

Seriously? The interstellar object is called "All please"? #A11pl3Z

Discovery credit for #A11pl3Z goes to ATLAS. Hence the temporary designation (the codes for things found by ATLAS start with A1).

It'll be interesting to watch the naming of this #interstellar candidate evolve!
I'm no expert on nomenclature, but it starts out with a 'near Earth Object' tag of #A11pl3Z but that should change to something like 3I/2025 U1 (?) shortly if confirmed an interstellar object.
Since 1I/2017 U1 was found by a Hawaiian observatory it was given a Hawaiian name - 'Oumuamua.
This new guy was spotted by an undergrad poring over Chilean telescope data, it will presumably get a Spanish name?

A 3rd interstellar object?
Wonder if it will be bright enough to capture in a scope / from northern hemisphere.

Digging thru the articles to see if someone mentions an eccentricity* value and I see a post that says preliminary number looks like:
e=10.4 ± 1.1!
Whew - that's probably really moving. 'Oumuamua I think was in the 1.2 region.
*An e above 1 indicates it's not carving an ellipse around our sun, but rather its hyperbolic, just barrelling thru the region.
-
Ooh - exciting! A new interstellar candidate?
Have been waiting for another one of these since #Oumuamua (and the more boring Borisov comet). I mean they must happen all the time, but actually finding them is really hard.

Dritter interstellarer Himmelskörper? – A11pl3Z sorgt für Aufregung
Bislang wurden zwei interstellare Himmelskörper entdeckt, während sie durchs Sonnensystem rasten. Gerade verdichten sich die Hinweise auf den nächsten.
