3 Eye Atlas , 3iAtlas

What are your thoughts and feelings about 3i Atlas? 
I find it interesting it is inadvertently named 3eye which is not related to the third eye scientifically and yet has the same name. Perhaps it is something wonderful or perhaps our assignment of it as something wonderful is enough. What are your thoughts on this?

    3I/ATLAS is
    a comet that originated from another star system and is the third interstellar object discovered passing through our solar system. Discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS telescope, its name comes from "3" for third, "I" for interstellar, and "ATLAS" for the survey that found it. Its trajectory is hyperbolic, meaning it is not gravitationally bound to the Sun and will leave our solar system. 
    This video explains the background of the 3I/ATLAS comet:"
      • Interstellar origin: It is the third confirmed object from another star system to be observed in our solar system, after 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov.
      • Behavior: Observations show it behaves like a comet, displaying a coma (a cloud of gas and dust) and a tail, which is caused by the vaporization of ice when it nears the sun.
    • Trajectory: Its path is hyperbolic, meaning it will not return and poses no threat to Earth.
    • Significance: It offers scientists a rare opportunity to study material from outside our solar system. 
    here's a little info on what 3i Atlas is for interested readers

    Where is the video you speak of here in this comment Julie I cant see it or it hasn't been posted?? So I went searching,

    its in a link in the line of Discovery: It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial - impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey telescope..

    maybe when links are added and not underlines nor directed to they cant be seen to be there..

    Oh thanks Vlada I am watching this. If the butterfly effect is true then a whole comet might be quite an effect on the solar system. :-) I love how NASA affirms that the universe is magical.. and how they are searching for life besides us. I love how humanity is OBSESSED with this search and how it is the source of conversations worldwide …. It’s so exciting!!
