Scientists Detect Interstellar Object with Potentially Hostile Alien Tech Approaching Earth

TL;DR Summary
A newly discovered interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, was first observed by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory during its commissioning phase, making it the earliest high-precision image of such an object. The comet, which is over 2 billion years old and faster than previous interstellar visitors, was confirmed by multiple telescopes and is notable for its hyperbolic velocity and ancient origin. Rubin's observations are crucial for studying this rare cosmic visitor before it moves out of view in August.
