A new analysis of our solar system’s interstellar interloper, 3I/ATLAS, reveal that it’s spewing huge amounts of water and astronomers can’t immediately explain why.
3I/ATLAS is such an unusual entity that scientists have subtly stopped referring to it as a comet, instead giving it the title of ‘interstellar object’, covering their bases one would suppose in case it really does turn out to be a UFO or some form of alien technology. We live in such a time, while most people would be surprised, very few if anyone would be actually shocked. The whole world seems to be waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop, and they should be. That’s the memo.
“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.” Zechariah 5:1 (KJB)
Now this new wrinkle in the saga of 3I/ATLAS is fascinating, evidentially what ever it is it is able to not only contain massive amounts of water but it is currently ejecting water at the rate of 88 pounds per second, that’s 10.55 gallons. If you’re a science geek, this is what’s happening – “measurements on 2025 July 31–August 1 yielded a first, marginal detection of OH (A2Σ–X2Π) emission near 3085 Å, corresponding to a water production rate of (0.74 ± 0.50) × 1027 molecules s−1.” But no matter how you slice it, 3I/ATLAS continues to confound even the most jaded sky watchers. It will be interesting to see what it actually turns out to be.
