About this video

A terrifying new discovery: the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is racing through our solar system at nearly 210,000 km/h (130,000 mph) — faster than any comet ever seen. Unlike Oumuamua (1I/ʻOumuamua) in 2017 or 2I/Borisov in 2019, this comet was spotted entering the solar system, giving us a front-row seat to its journey toward the Sun.

☄️ What you’ll see in this video:

The shocking speed of comet 3I/ATLAS, nearly 60× Earth’s escape velocity.

Why its retrograde orbit (~175°) makes it cut against the flow of the planets.

The massive coma: 25,000 km across in visible light, and nearly 700,000 km in infrared, larger than the Earth–Moon distance.

Chemistry never seen before: CO₂ to H₂O ratio of 8:1, with detections of carbon monoxide (CO) and sulfur compounds — revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Key dates: close pass by Mars on October 3, 2025, perihelion on October 29, 2025, and a safe flyby of Earth on December 19, 2025.

Why astronomers call it a cosmic messenger — a time capsule of ices formed in another star system billions of years ago.

I’ve been an astrophotographer capturing comets for over 10 years, but nothing compares to this. Comet 3I/ATLAS is larger, faster, and chemically stranger than anything we’ve ever photographed.
