The unidentified space object 3I/ATLAS continues to baffle both scientists and others alike. Is it a comet or intergalactic visitors? Here are the historic updates about this unusual object that you should know.
According to a new report by the New York Post, 3I/ATLAS “flew too close to the Sun.” Unlike its projected path, the outlet noted that the believed comet “executed an unusual maneuver while approaching the Sun earlier this week…”

In a Medium article, 3I/ATLAS expert Avi Loeb noted that the object gave “first evidence of a non-gravitational acceleration.” He further described how this “non-gravitational acceleration was measured at the perihelion distance of 1.36 times the Earth-Sun separation…”
Loeb, who has speculated that this object may indeed be created from an intelligent source of life, wrote in his article: ” the non-gravitational acceleration might be the technological signature of an internal engine. This might also explain the report on 3I/ATLAS getting bluer than the Sun…”
CNN noted that 3I/ATLAS was approximately 126 million miles from the Sun, and it should be observable by telescope starting November 11, making its closest contact with Earth on December 19.
Could it be that what scientists are calling 3I/ATLAS is more than just a scientific anomaly? As talk of alien life grows louder, believers must remember what Scripture warns: that in the last days, strong delusion will come upon the earth (2 Thess. 2:11).

As 3I/ATLAS draws closer to Earth, the body of Christ must stay spiritually alert. The same heavens that declare the glory of God are also being used by the deceiver to counterfeit His wonders. The hour is late, and discernment has never been more vital. While the world looks up in curiosity, let us look up in expectation, knowing our redemption draws near as we anticipate the coming return of Christ the King.
