3I/ATLAS has generated much buzz and traffic on X/Twitter, among other social media platforms. However, it has also been a breeding ground for engagement farmers sharing AI-manipulated media, thereby toying with the fancies of lay, who wouldn’t bother fact-checking from multiple sources, including credible resources. Canadian artist Claire Elise Boucher, aka Grimes, who shares two children with former partner Elon Musk, namely son X Æ A-xii and a daughter, took to X/Twitter and shared her two cents on 3I/ATLAS.
This story is totally captivating for little humans. I love when there are scientific discoveries or debates that are as legible and interesting for little humans as they are to adults. Media that is as fun for adults as it is for kids is noble (because it encourages real friendship and comradely) there’s been so much great coverage of 3i atlas. I’m not overly wishful but even if it’s just a mysterious strange interstellar object, that is still incredibly captivating and rare.

First spotted by the ATLAS observatory in Chile on July 01, 2025, 3I/ATLAS has been keeping the researchers on their toes. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has so far enlisted 13 anomalies in the object that may (or may not) indicate its ETI origin. But speculations aside, scientists, stargazers, and the normies like us who get the bites from media will have to wait until December 19, to get a clearer view of the third-ever interstellar object to cruise through the solar system. On day 3I/ATLAS will be the closest to Earth at a distance of 1.8 AU, which is over 269 million kilometers.
