To the naked eye, the stars are diamond flecks scattered across the inner surface of a celestial sphere. Telescopes have brought depth to our vision, mapping the true distances to cosmic objects. But the universe they reveal appears utterly beyond the human scale of space and time. Even the closest stars seem infinitely remote, and reaching them a thing of science fiction, save for a few dead and dying probes drifting outward for eternity. This article is part of The Scale Issue. Now, though,...| IEEE Spectrum
3I/ATLAS is a fast, ancient interstellar object. Its odd features fuel both scientific study and speculation. On July 1, astronomers detected a strange, fast-moving object racing toward the Sun. Named 3I/ATLAS, it stood out for one remarkable reason: its orbit revealed that it had arrived from be| SciTechDaily
