JAKARTA - Not long ago, 3/I ATLAS became popular because scientists from the University of Harvard suspected that the object was alien technology. However, NASA believes that this object is a comet.

To show NASA's findings over the past few months related to the object, NASA will host a live event on Wednesday, November 19. At the event, NASA will share the latest image of cometary interstellar 3I/ATLAS.

All of these images were collected on a number of space missions. The US space agency said that the ATLAS 3/I exhibition will be held at NASA's Goddard Space Aviation Center located in Greenbelt, Maryland.

3/I ATLAS is a foreign object that has just entered the solar system in the middle of this year. The comet was discovered by the ATLAS observatory, short for the Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, which NASA funded on July 1.

Although the comet poses no threat to Earth, it made its closest approach to Mars. The comet flew within 19 million miles of Mars in early October.

The exhibition of this astronomical object will be broadcast online on various NASA digital platforms. This broadcast can be accessed via NASA+, NASA apps, websites, official YouTube channels, or Amazon Prime streaming services.

The event will be attended by a number of top NASA experts and officials. Some of them are NASA Association Administrator Amit Kshatriya and Nicky Fox and Shawn Domagal-Goldman from the Science Mission Directorate.

The general public is also invited to participate in this NASA Live event. They can ask questions that have the potential to be answered directly during broadcasts using the hashtag #AskNASA on social media. That way, you can ask if this object is related to aliens.
