Michio Kaku Breaks Down After a New Object Enters Our Solar System

On July 1, 2025, the ATLAS survey detected a faint moving object that followed a hyperbolic path, indicating it came from outside the solar system. Observations showed a coma and a dust tail, signs of active mass loss consistent with comet-like behaviour. Combined optical and infrared measures constrain the solid nucleus to at most a few kilometres across. Spectra revealed common volatile compounds and dust features seen in cold-formed bodies. Teams worldwide tracked its motion and confirmed there is no impact risk to Earth. This rare interstellar visitor provides direct samples of material formed around another star for study.

Astronomers are stunned—an object from another star system has slipped into ours. But what kind of traveller is it, and what secrets does it carry across the cosmos?
