?The ?alien comet? is on the way: 3I/ATLAS to make rare Earth pass?
https://www.chron.com/news/space/article/interstellar-comet-3i-atlas-earth-21239099.php
?Scientists are preparing for their best look at it yet.?
?Comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third known object from interstellar space to
pass through our solar system, is about to make its closest approach to
Earth. On Friday, Dec. 19, it will come within about 170 million miles
of the planet while moving on the far side of the Sun. The alignment
should give Earth and space-based telescopes one of their best
opportunities to study it, and NASA says it poses no threat.?
?Astronomers have followed 3I/ATLAS since its discovery on July 1.
Hubble photographed it on July 21 from 277 million miles away, revealing
a teardrop-shaped cloud of dust wrapped around its icy core. The comet
stayed visible through September before slipping too close to the Sun to
be observed.?
The space ship is coming by for a look at us. I hope their telescopes
are better than ours.
