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.
