Wetin dey happen, my people! Na so space matter don land for our head again, as dem don spot this special interstellar comet wey dem dey call 3I/ATLAS wey don waka enter our solar system.

This comet no be ordinary ogbonge, e come from far far distance, and una sabi say na only three of these kind comet don ever show face for our side before! Dem discover am last year for July and since then, scientists don dey try any and everything wey dem fit to check how e dey behave.

Recently, as 3I/ATLAS dey waka go pass the Sun, our space folk dem utilize Europa Clipper, one sharp probe wey dey do all these space exploration. Imagine sey, as this Europa Clipper dey head for Jupiter, e fit still turn eye to observe 3I/ATLAS just as e dey travel. Na so dem fit catch the comet with some of their snoopy instruments.

3I/ATLAS dey pass near Mars, and you go need see the kind attention wey e dey grab from instruments wey dey there. But Europa Clipper come get special tools wey fit help dem analyze this comet better – especially with di Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instrument. Dis instrument no be small, e fit catch all di mix wey dey happen as di comet dey do im thing!

Di scientists don talk say as dem dey study am, dem dey see two tails wey dey follow di comet – one na for dust, while di other na for particles wey dey comot because of di Sun’s rays. Na di tails be di main gists, as e go help dem understand wetin 3I/ATLAS dey made of and di chemistry wey dey happen around am.

As euphoric as dis gists don be, dem still dey gather data from other probes sych as di Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) wey dey watch am from another angle too. E be like sey, we don hit jackpot with all dis observation, because di two probes dey reveal di comet in different light.

But abeg make I drop some serious gist here; dem scientists don dey face some skeptics wey dey believe sey 3I/ATLAS fit be alien spacecraft. E be like say dem dey see one eye-witness report for that talk. But na as Europa Clipper and JUICE dey analyze dis comet, dem go fit help clear any confusion where e get to do with di supposed alien talk.

No be only this, but dem even get more gist to drop about di chemical composition of di comet wey dey show abnormal behavior. Dis comet dey release nickel and cyanogen, and e display some unique characteristics wey set am apart from di other interstellar visitors wey don pass before.

Research don also show say dis comet stay around for at least 8 to 13 billion years, older than our modern solar system sef! As e dey get closer to di Sun, di scientists dey catch some juicy gas emissions wey dey change as di comet dey travel.

Di research wey dem put together go open door for many exciting discoveries as dem dey prepare to publish dem findings. E no be say we go need wait long, because di excitement dey build!

So based on di onion wey we don peel, 3I/ATLAS go make many sense for our galactic understanding and e go help explain many things wey happen for space as e just dey wan show us love. Abeg, keep your eyes up for di sky; who knows wetin we go see next!
