You can see the recently identified "interstellar object" 3I/ATLAS shooting towards us through the solar system in a livestream from the Virtual Telescope Project on Thursday (July 3).

An object from another star has been seen entering the solar system at high speed, and is expected to whip around the sun in the coming months

July 3 (UPI) -- NASA discovered the third interstellar comet through a survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile. The interstellar comet first observed on Tuesday by NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Alert System telescope, or ATLAS, has been officially named 3I/ATLAS .

NASA has discovered an interstellar comet that’s wandered into our backyard. The space agency spotted the quick-moving object with the sky-surveying Atlas telescope in Chile earlier this week, and confirmed it was a comet from another star system.
