Kua kitea e te ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) he kaitono NEOCP (Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page) hou i roto i nga whakaahua rangahau 30-tuarua e wha i tangohia i te 01 o Hurae 2025. I muri tonu mai i te rangahau, ka kitea he orbit cometary hyperbolic tino rerekee.
Kua tapaina te kometa ko 3I/ATLAS. I ahu mai i te waahi o waenga whetu. Ka tae mai i te ahunga o te kahui whetu o Sagittarius, i tenei wa e 670 miriona kiromita te tawhiti atu i te Ra. Ka tae atu ki tona huarahi tata ki te Ra i te 30 Oketopa 2025 i te tawhiti 210 miriona kiromita i roto noa i te omio o Mars.
Ka noho tonu tenei kometa i waenga whetu i te tawhiti 240 miriona kiromita mai i a tatou no reira karekau he morearea, he riri ranei mo te Ao.
Ko te comet 3I/ATLAS he whai waahi onge ki te ako i tetahi ahanoa interstellar i puta mai i waho o te punaha solar. E matapaetia ana ka kitea tonutia e nga karu-a-papa mo te maataki i te marama o Mahuru. Whai muri i tenei, ka tata rawa atu ki te Ra ka kitea. Ka puta ano ki tera taha o te Ra hei te timatanga o Hakihea mo nga tirohanga hou.
Ko te comet 3I/ATLAS te tuatoru o nga mea interstellar i kitea i roto i te punaha solar.
1I/2017 Ko U1 'Oumuamua te mea tuatahi i kitea i roto i to tatou punaha solar. I kitea i te 19 o Oketopa 2017. Ko te ahua he mea toka, ahua hikareti me te ahua whero o te ahua o te ahua o te kometa.
Ko te mea tuarua ko te 2I/Borisov. I kitea i roto i to maatau punaha solar i te tau 2019.

 has discovered a new NEOCP (Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page) candidate in four 30-second survey images taken on 01 July 2025. Immediate follow up study revealed a highly eccentric, hyperbolic cometary orbit. The comet has been named 3I/ATLAS. It originated from interstellar space.){kind=link}
