First I gotta say that I never really pay attention to the alien stuff. Not that I don't think it's real it's just never been my thing. That being said, this 3I Atlas has me hooked.
It's the third known interstellar object ever to enter our solar system. The first, 1I Oumuamua in 2017 and the second 2I Borisov in 2019.
Some interesting things about 3I Atlas:
it goes against the grain or the natural flow of our galaxy.
It will make very close approaches to Venus Mars and Jupiter
It's very bright and seems extremely large like the size of a small city, much larger compared to the first two objects that were closer in size to a city block.
It's angle of entry into our solar system is almost exactly parallel with the orbit of the planets. The odds of this are smaller than they first appear because not only are the planets moving around the sun but the sun is also moving through the galaxy. All of that lining up by random chance is unlikely especially given the rarity of these objects.
At it's closest approach to Mars and the Sun, 3I Atlas will not be visible to Earth because it will be on the other side of the Sun out of our view.
Right now orbiting Jupiter there is a very advanced satellite called Juno that is coming to the end of its mission. It is possible that Juno could be redirected towards 3I Atlas to get a better look as it's final mission but this is up to NASA.
There are many other interesting anomalies about this object. Some people think it may be Aliens. Like I said, normally I don't pay much attention to this kinda stuff but my gut tells me something is up with 3I Atlas.
