NASA May Use Juno to Chase Alien Probe Through Solar System

WooGlobe

A mysterious interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS is racing through our solar system at incredible speed — and scientists are in a race against time to catch it. With Earth launches too slow, experts are exploring bold options like redirecting spacecraft already in orbit, including NASA’s Juno and orbiters around Mars. Could this be our best chance to study material from another star system — or even discover signs of alien technology?

00:00A mysterious visitor is racing through our solar system,

00:03and it's not from around here.

00:05Meet 3i slash Atlas,

00:07the third-ever object we've spotted from another star system.

00:10Discovered by NASA on July 1,

00:13it's moving at a staggering 37 miles per second

00:16and will make its closest approach to the sun this October

00:19before vanishing forever.

00:21Now, scientists want to do the unthinkable,

00:23intercept it with a spacecraft.

00:25But there's a big problem.

00:26It's too fast, and Earth-based launches can't catch up.

00:30So, researchers are proposing a bold Plan B.

00:33Redirect existing spacecraft like NASA's Juno,

00:36currently orbiting Jupiter,

00:38or Mars orbiters nearing retirement.

00:40If they succeed, we could get a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse

00:43into another star system's secrets.

00:45Some even believe this could answer the biggest question of all.

00:48Is it alien?

00:50Harvard's professor Avi Loeb says its strange path and rarity

00:53might not be a coincidence.

00:55But time is running out.

00:57Whether comet or something far more mysterious,

01:003i slash Atlas could change what we know about life, space,

01:04and our place in the universe.

01:06hartinn anybody says there.

01:08Let's see.

01:09We're going to add?

01:10They don't burn too much.

01:11I can do it from today to sunrise.

01:13I've got that succinct.

01:14The entire mouse is I don't use the Duluth Dealer.

01:16A classic.

01:17They're going to tighten it right now.

01:18And it's easing up.

01:19Again, everybody is darlin't out.

01:20Which are doing that.

01:21I 그래서 I guess I guess I mentioned that the angel.

01:23These are merging.

01:24I guess there's some frankly my way.

01:25I mean, edges are justchmal a folder.
