This verified report from NASA and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) documents the detection of 3i/ATLAS, an interstellar object entering the Solar System on a hyperbolic trajectory.
JWST’s early spectroscopic data confirm an inbound velocity exceeding 58 kilometers per second, faster than any known comet of solar origin.
Its motion and reflectivity indicate that 3i/ATLAS is not gravitationally bound to the Sun, confirming its extra-solar origin and making it the third known interstellar visitor after ʻOumuamua and Borisov.

• Source: NASA / JWST Science Operations Center
• Instruments: JWST NIRSpec and NIRCam imaging
• Finding: Inbound velocity = 58.3 km/s; hyperbolic eccentricity (e = 1.17)
• Highlight: Reflectance spectrum differs from carbonaceous comets — low albedo, possible silicate crust
• Observation: Trajectory consistent with origin beyond the galactic thin disk

🪐 Why It Matters:
3i/ATLAS extends humanity’s brief catalog of interstellar visitors and challenges our understanding of material survival across interstellar space.
Its extreme velocity and spectral distinctiveness suggest a fragment from an older stellar system — a messenger from the deep galactic past, briefly passing through our Sun’s domain.
