Astronomers are tracking a visitor called 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed. The two previous instances were 1I/’Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019. 3I/ATLAS is currently passing through the solar system on a one-way route, and it will continue outward rather than settling into a repeating orbit.

Astronaut Joe Acaba has been all over the world and to outer space and back. His life has taken him from college to the Marine Corps, to the Peace Corps, to NASA.
On Wednesday, Acaba brought his experience and knowledge to Baylor students in a broadcast interview from the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The interview was broadcast at multiple universities across the southwest. Students who came to Moody Memorial Library were able to ask Acaba questions about the Peace Corps and his other experiences.
