The third #interstellar object - formerly known as #A11pl3Z - has just been named 3I/ATLAS: https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K25/K25N12.html ... and also C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) as it happens to be a #comet after all!

A mysterious object known as #A11pl3Z appears to be only the third #interstellar interloper to be detected passing through our solar system. Don't panic: This object has no chance of hitting Earth. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/07/02/scientists-suspect-theyve-found-a-third-interstellar-object/#Space#InterstellarObject
