A Third Interstellar Visitor Is Here, and Astronomers Might Know Where It Came From

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-05 01:17:26

After defending his PhD thesis on modeling interstellar objects on Monday, June 30, Matthew Hopkins intended to take some well-deserved time off. It would appear the universe had other plans for him. The very next day, the Atlas Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, detected a mysterious object whizzing toward the Sun. Early observations suggested that it came from outside our solar system, potentially marking the third discovery of an interstellar object

Internet speed tests aren't just for people who obsess over their internet connection. When my friends or parents are experiencing an inevitable home internet slowdown, my first recommendation is always to start with a speed test. In fact, I’ve tested and used dozens of internet speed tests -- the market is pretty saturated with them. Ideally, the best internet speed test is one that diagnoses your bandwidth blues as simply as possible -- no ads, no extra features you can’t make sense of, and no

Part of the fun of 3D printing is discovering just how many possibilities there are for different things to print. Obviously, they're fun for printing toys or decorations that you couldn't or wouldn't buy yourself, but they're also powerful problem-solving tools. Once you've solved a few problems with 3D printed parts, you start looking around for other minor inconveniences or quality-of-life upgrades that you could solve—and the breadth and depth of the 3D printing community means that you can

A federal rule designed to make canceling subscriptions as easy as signing up for them has been struck down by a US federal appeals court just days before it was scheduled to take effect.

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's been about a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted, breaking records by selling over 3.5 million units around the world in the first four days of availability. Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs.
