The encounter of 3I/Atlas with Jupiter

3I/Atlas will be one of the most studied comisco objects, it will provide material for years of research, research is beginning to be done on the composition of 3I/Atlas, it is giving some surprises among the elements that 3I/Atlas has, apart from Zinc, which was very famous at the time because it was the indicator that 3I/Atlas came from a system with a completely different chemistry from that of the solar system, but apart from that, elements are also being found that are an essential part of the bricks that form life on earth as we know it and this is quite impressive.

The ideal would be to find molybdenum, which is a somewhat mysterious metal within life here on Earth. Molybdenum is essential for life on Earth, but it is very scarce in the solar system. According to some, this is an indication that life did not arise on Earth, but came from outside, or that the Earth had some kind of special event, which is why it had more molybdenum than usual at the time, but that last theory is not very refuted.

Or the third option is that life chose molybdenum because it was very efficient for what it needed for the development of life itself, but it is a mystery, if in 3I/Atlas there were molybdenum, it would be a scientific bombshell, a scientific bombshell, because it would mean that yes, that interstellar objects could have been involved at least in the essential elements that formed life here on Earth, it is all a very intriguing story about this metal molybdenum.

3I/Atlas entered the solar system in the direction of the constellation of Sagittarius, when it was discovered in July 2025 it quickly became the most interesting and popular cosmic object of the year, it is the third confirmed interstellar object that we have managed to capture, surely other interstellar objects will be passing by right now, what happens is that they will pass very far away. of our observatories and we have not currently captured them, but surely there, beyond Saturn and especially beyond Neptune, numerous interstellar objects will be passing by.

It is assumed that with the new space and terrestrial observatories we will be able to discover more of this type of objects and perhaps they will be rarer than we think, because at the moment we have only confirmed three, 1I/Oumuamua (2017), the comet 2I/Borisov (2019) and the most recent, 3I/ATLAS, a very rare asteroid.

In general, interstellar objects are very rare, normally in the solar system, when an object is detected, an asteroid that is elongated and that rotates or rotates rapidly, it is automatically considered to have a large amount of metals in its composition, because when asteroids are small and elongated, gravity barely has an effect on them, the union between them is another type of electromagnetic and other forces. So, when they rotate, if they were not metallic, if they were not dense, if they did not have a strong bond between their elements, they would simply disintegrate, so, if we see an elongated asteroid in the solar system, it is normally metallic.

3I/Atlas is going to have a very special date with Jupiter on March 16, it is going to pass at 53,605,000 km, that will be approximately half a million kilometers beyond Jupiter's Hill radius, the Hill radius marks the maximum distance of an object that can orbit another, in this case Jupiter, but all large planets and asteroids that have gravity to large or dwarf planets also have their Hill radius. The question is that it is raised within the many speculations that had been raised Avi Loep, who raised the possibility that 3I/Atlas would release at that time, in Hill's radius, objects that would remain there orbiting Jupiter, but in the end it turns out that it will pass further than that radius.

It didn't make much sense either because if you're going to drop objects orbiting Jupiter, why go to the limit? Go deeper, well, in the end that theory was ruled out, anyway, we'll have to see what happens.
