Scientists are tracking a mysterious interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, discovered on July 1, 2025, racing toward our solar system at over 130,000 mph. Some experts, including Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, believe it could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft—or even a hostile recon probe. With a size larger than Manhattan and a trajectory that passes near Jupiter, Mars, and Venus before disappearing behind the Sun in November, Loeb suggests it may be hiding its true purpose. Could this be proof of the dark forest hypothesis in action? 🛸
But not everyone agrees. Many astronomers say it’s just a comet ejected from another star system—nothing more, nothing less. Even Loeb admits the alien theory is unlikely, calling it a speculative but testable idea. So is 3I/ATLAS a threat... or just space dust?
🔭 Watch now to learn about the object’s discovery, the science, the theories, and the heated debate among experts.
