The third interstellar flying object observed within our solar system

When one of those objects hits Earth again, then we have a real climate crisis, not the phony climate change!

"The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the fastest comet ever observed, moving through our solar system at 130,000 mph, after traveling the universe for hundreds of millions of years.

NASA discovered the 3I/ATLAS comet last month and determined that it was from interstellar space, only the third interstellar object witnessed within our solar system. ..."

"... The NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first reported observations to the Minor Planet Center of comet 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025.

Hubble’s observations allow astronomers to more accurately estimate the size of the comet’s nucleus. The upper limit on its diameter is 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers), though it could be as small as 1,000 feet (320 meters) across, researchers report. ..."

Comet 3I/ATLAS (undated article by NASA, very unprofessional)


This diagram shows the trajectory of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passes through the solar system. It will make its closest approach to the Sun in October.


This Hubble Space Telescope image of comet 3I/ATLAS was taken with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3.

Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of a comet from beyond our Solar System

Amazing stuff! However, this YouTube video is in the annoying narrow format!
When one of those comets one day hits earth then we have a real climate crisis not caused by so called anthropogenic greenhouse gases.

Gewaltiger Komet steuert auf Sonnensystem zu: Astronomen machen zufälligen Fund

Wenn sich die Wissenschaftler verrechnet haben fliegt dieser riesige Komet nicht auf die Sonne, sondern vielleicht auf unseren Planeten zu. Der potentielle Einschlag wäre dann mal wirklich eine Klimakatastrophe anstelle des all gegenwärtigen Klimawahns!

Gewaltiger Komet steuert auf Sonnensystem zu: Astronomen machen zufälligen Fund - ingenieur.de Ein wahrer Gigant wurde im All entdeckt: Astronomen haben durch Zufall einen 100 bis 200 Kilometer großen Kometen entdeckt. Der sogenannte Bernardinelli-Bernstein bewegt sich auf die Sonne zu. Alles, was Sie jetzt über die atemberaubende Entdeckung wissen müssen.

The cataclysm that killed the dinosaurs

Very recommendable! This is a rare, but much more real global threat than the Global Warming hoax or the Climate Change religion! But how rare or infrequent are these impactor events? Can smaller impactor incidents be overlooked in the record of earth? Quite possible!

The good news here is that so called sun grazers can probably be easily be detected from earth and once detected humanity would have perhaps as many as 200 years to to something about it.

"It was tens of miles wide and forever changed history when it crashed into Earth about 66 million years ago.
The Chicxulub impactor, as it’s known, was a plummeting asteroid or comet that left behind a crater off the coast of Mexico that spans 93 miles and goes 12 miles deep. ... dinosaurs ... triggering their sudden mass extinction, along with the end of almost three-quarters of the plant and animal species then living on Earth. ...
Using statistical analysis and gravitational simulations, Loeb and Siraj say that a significant fraction of a type of comet originating from the Oort cloud, a sphere of debris at the edge of the solar system, was bumped off-course by Jupiter’s gravitational field during its orbit and sent close to the sun, whose tidal force broke apart pieces of the rock. That increases the rate of comets like Chicxulub (pronounced Chicks-uh-lub) because these fragments cross the Earth’s orbit and hit the planet once every 250 to 730 million years or so. ...
The calculations ... increase the chances of long-period comets impacting Earth by a factor of about 10, and show that about 20 percent of long-period comets become sun grazers. ...
This includes an object that hit about 2 billion years ago and left the Vredefort crater in South Africa, which is the largest confirmed crater in Earth’s history, and the impactor that left the Zhamanshin crater in Kazakhstan, which is the largest confirmed crater within the last million years. ... If produced the same way, they say those would strike Earth once every 250,000 to 730,000 years. ...
the new Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile may be able to see the tidal disruption of long-period comets after it becomes operational next year.
“We should see smaller fragments coming to Earth more frequently from the Oort cloud ..."

Asteroids And Comets Not CO2 Are A Real Threat To Climate!

It is probably only a matter of time when Earth will be hit again by another comet or asteroid! Why is there no hysteria about that? Why are so many humans ignorant of this threat? 


New evidence that an extraterrestrial collision 12,800 years ago triggered an abrupt climate change for Earth: Why did Earth's climate rapidly cool 12,800 years ago? Evidence is mounting that a comet or asteroid collision is to blame, with new support coming from the bottom of a South Carolina lake.
