A Cosmic Visitor from Far Away

A comet named 3I/ATLAS is on a long trip through our solar system. It's not from around here. It came from another star system. This is only the third time scientists have seen something like this. Some people wonder if it could be from aliens. An astronomer named John Tonry works with a system that finds dangerous space rocks. He doesn't think this comet is from aliens. But he says it's a great chance to learn about other star systems. Tonry says this comet is like a gift. It lets us study things we can't usually see. He thinks it's the only way we'll get stuff from another solar system in our lifetime. Scientists are excited. They want to learn more about this visitor. They hope it can teach us about planets and stars far away. This comet is a rare chance. It helps us understand the universe better. Who knows what else is out there?
