"Some of us pray... Some resumed their hope. Some bow to power... Some resist. A beautiful night, decorated by a thin moon. An infinite dream, increasingly colored with richness of utopia. Some fit in our irises, some attract butterflies in tallest platos."

*Waves hi* 👋 *Waves bye* 👋 Back in July, NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory captured this view of Comet 3I/ATLAS: the third interstellar object ever spotted in our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS is still zipping through our Solar System, coming closest to Earth today, 19 December! 🌎 🔭🧪

It poses no threat to Earth as it soars by 270 million km (170 million miles) away. 3I/ATLAS is now more easily visible for northern observers. It is still visible low here in the south, but it's too bright for Rubin to observe during our preparations for the 10-year LSST. 🔭🧪
