An Emirati Observatory depicts a comet coming from a space between the stars

On July 01, 2025, the US space agency “NASA” discovered a unique crime, which was quickly found to be a comet coming from another solar group.

Billions of years remained swimming in space until he entered our solar system and discovered several days ago.

Engineer Mohamed Shawkat Awda, Director of the International Astronomy Center, said that the astronomical sealing observatory in the Abu Dhabi desert managed to photograph this comet on Thursday evening 03 July, and the monitoring of this crime was difficult due to the lifting of its shine, it is now shining from the amount of 17.5, meaning that he only sees with large telescopes.

The monitoring process lasted 45 minutes, during which he took 45 photos of the guilt, and it appears inside the yellow square in the attached picture, and the attached video shows the comet moved between the stars during the process of monitoring it from the sealing observatory, as it appears in the form of a point that moves between the stars that appear in the form of lines, and given the importance of this monitor (IAU), to be the first Arab observatory to conduct scientific observations for this comet.

The comet was discovered by the “Atlas” monitoring system through one of the telescopes located in Chile, and it was called the symbol “A11pl3z” and then the name “C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), until it was finally named” 3i/atlas “and the symbol (3i) at the beginning of its name means that it is the third crime outside the solar system (INTERSTELRAR), which is discovered, where it is discovered, where it is discovered, The first asteroid (OMUAMUA) was discovered in 2017, and the second comet was discovered (2i/borisov) in 2019.

It is now located at a distance of 670 million kilometers from the sun, and it travels at a huge speed of 221 thousand kilometers per hour, and this comet does not pose a threat on the ground, as it will reach the closest distance between him and the earth 240 million kilometers, while it will reach the closest distance of the sun on October 30, 2025 and will then be at a distance of 210 million kilometers of it, and with a luster that is estimated that he is of fate 11.

Upon his discovery, it seemed coming from the side of the arc group (Rami), and this side in which the heart of our galaxy is located, the Milky Way. Experts have been able to know that he is coming from outside the solar system through its huge speed, which is not commensurate with being attached to the sun and through the form of its open orbit, as the orbit of this comet does not revolve around the sun
