A Harvard astrophysicist who believes the Manhattan-sized comet hurtling towards Earth could possibly be fueled by alien technology has invited Kim Kardashian to join his research team — after she

An astronomer has snapped comet 3I/ATLAS using the Lowell Observatory's powerful Discovery Telescope, as well as his own small telescope. The new photos are believed to be the first optical observations of the interstellar visitor since it disappeared behind the sun.

What: Comet 3I/ATLAS reached perihelion on October 30, 2025. This special SETI Live explored what scientists have learned about its origin, chemistry, and trajectory as it passes through our Solar System.

I/ATLAS was recorded by several objects as it made its close pass by the sun this week which resulted in the jarring measurements.

Atlas fuels debate as NASA delays new images. See what data exist, why releases lag, what scientists say, and what to watch next.

NASA is facing pressure from lawmakers and scientists to release data on 3I/ATLAS after the agency publicly reassured Kim Kardashian.

"The implication of alien technology would be huge and therefore we must take it seriously,” Harvard's Avi Loeb told Newsweek.

Besides the media from the HiRISE cam, the Republican has also requested all the available content on the comet from other instruments, including “the Parker Solar Probe or other active observatories under NASA's purview, aside from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.”
