NASA eyes 3I/ATLAS with alien-hunting Clipper spacecraft as comet approaches Earth
NASA's alien-hunting Europa Clipper spacecraft took seven hours of ultraviolet observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS while both objects zoom toward Jupiter.
Harvard Professor Avi Loeb has discussed 15 specific anomalies associated with 3I/ATLAS and highlighted the importance of examining them without prior expectations. According to Loeb, anomalies are by definition unexpected, and their relevance does not depend on whether they were predicted.
Is 3I/ATLAS a comet or an alien ship? Harvard's Avi Loeb warns of a 'serial killer' visitor as the interstellar object makes its closest approach to Earth.
I've taken incredible photos of this interstellar comet for more than a month using two tiny iPad-connected scopes in my windowsill. You can catch it too, if you act quickly.

Europa Clipper spends seven hours watching 3I/ATLAS as NASA studies elements in its surrounding plume
During a long observation, Europa Clipper analyzed the gas plume surrounding interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. The NASA spacecraft, named the Europa Clipper, just spent seven hours observing a rare object orbiting our solar system named 3I/ATLAS. This object is unique since it originated from outside our solar system.
