🚨 BREAKING: First Radio Signal Detected from 3I/ATLAS At 04:10 UT, Oct 24 2025, South Africa’s MeerKAT Radio Telescope captured the first confirmed radio absorption lines from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS marking the object’s official radio detection milestone. According to a report by D.J. Pisano et al., MeerKAT identified hydroxyl (OH) radicals at 1.665 GHz and 1.667 GHz, showing narrow absorption at Doppler shifts around -15.6 km/s. In other words molecules tied to water breakdown, the fingerprints of active chemistry are now confirmed around an object that originated beyond our Solar System. These OH lines align with thermal broadening consistent with 230 K surface temps. The detection came just days after solar conjunction, when 3I/ATLAS was nearly aligned with the Sun. Avi Loeb notes the object’s trajectory sits within 9° of the 1977 Wow! Signal direction. This isn’t alien contact. But it’s the first radio whisper from an interstellar visitor and it came from one of the most sensitive arrays on Earth. NASA’s Juno spacecraft will attempt a follow up scan in March 2026 as 3I/ATLAS swings near Jupiter. History just added a new data point. #3IATLAS #MeerKAT #InterstellarObject #Astronomy #RadioSignal #WowSignal #SpaceScience Sources: https://t.co/OiQFexbk23 https://t.co/spd4v6GD7U
