A new analysis suggests interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS could be 7 billion years old, potentially making it older than our Solar System. Discovered in July 2025, its unusual features initially sparked speculation about artificial origins, but the Oxford model points to an ancient natural object from the Milky Way's thick disk.
SETI araştırmacıları, Güneş Sistemi'ne dışarıdan gelen 3I/ATLAS adlı yıldızlararası kuyruklu yıldızında yapay radyo sinyali aradı ancak bulamadı. Bulgular, cismin doğal olduğunu güçlendiriyor.
Scientists used the Allen Telescope Array to search for alien technology signals from interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. After filtering out human interference, no extraterrestrial signals were detected, confirming the object's natural composition.
The SETI Institute has announced that extensive radio scans of an interstellar comet have revealed no signs of alien technology. The comet, the third known object from another star to enter our solar system, was observed by SETI's telescope in Northern California.
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane within interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, a finding that challenges existing comet science. The comet also shows an unusual dominance of carbon dioxide and an uneven decline in gas release as it moves away from the Sun, suggesting formation under different conditions than solar system comets.
اكتشف العلماء أن المذنب 3I/ATLAS، وهو ثالث جسم بينجمي مؤكد، يغير تركيبه الكيميائي أثناء اقترابه من الشمس. كشف تلسكوب جيمس ويب عن وجود الميثان، مما يشير إلى قصة نشأة مختلفة عن الأجسام في نظامنا الشمسي.
Eine Analyse des interstellaren Kometen 3I/ATLAS zeigt ein extrem hohes Deuterium-Wasserstoff-Verhältnis. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass der Komet unter deutlich kälteren Bedingungen und bei geringerer Strahlung als unser Sonnensystem entstand.
Michigan Üniversitesi öncülüğündeki araştırma, yıldızlararası kuyruklu yıldız 3I/ATLAS'ın galaksinin çok soğuk ve izole bir bölgesinden geldiğini ortaya koydu. Su döteryum oranı, cismin Güneş Sistemi'nden çok daha soğuk bir ortamda oluştuğunu gösteriyor. Tahminlere göre kuyruklu yıldız 11 milyar yaşına kadar ulaşabilir.
