Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS could be the oldest comet ever seen — and could grow a spectacular tail later this year

According to evolutionists, one of the comets is now in our system. It could grow a spectacular tail soon. It is 3 billions years older than the solar system. 3I/ATLAS is one of the distant comets seen by man.

“The object was already exciting to astronomers as only the third space object seen entering the solar system from beyond its limits, the other two being Oumuamua seen in 2017 and 2I/Borisov detected in 2019.

However, new research has shown this potentially "water ice-rich" visitor could be even more extraordinary than initially believed. 3I/ATLAS could be around 3 billion years older than our 4.5 billion-year-old solar system and thus any comet ever before observed.”
