Comet was found on July 1, moving at an incredible speed of 210,000 km/h. This is the object between the fastest stars. 3i/atlas, perhaps older than the solar system – is nearly 7.6 billion or more. The object does not cause the threat to the Earth and on October 30 will approach the sun at the trajectory distance of Mars. The latest relationship with our planet will occur at a distance of 1.8 of the astronomical unit (about 270 million km).
