The astronomers were wondering how the planets were born and where the first “bricks”, what shapes their shapes. A new study suggests that some of these initial works can arrive outside our star system. Researchers believe that some comet and asteroids that travel between stars known as interstellar bodies may become seeds that begin creating new worlds.

The wired magazine reports that at the last joint meeting of the European Astronomical Society (DPS), which took place in Helsinki, Finland, was a conclusion that supports the idea.
The work focused on 3I/Atlas, a recently discovered object that can make valuable planetary learning clues.

Susan Pfalzner with the Julich Super Center in Germany explained that Vagabundy interstellar facilities could be trapped around the birth of massive stars.
Once inside the gas and dust disk that surrounds the star, they accumulate the material and can be converted into planetic bodies with a diameter of more than one meter, which act as the first seed of the planet.
According to its models, the protoplanetary disk can gravity gravity millions of cameth and foreign asteroids up to 100 meters long.

This approach helps to solve the problem that has been embarrassed for decades. Classical theory indicates that fragments of the rock are facing and going together to form planets, but modeling shows that these contractions usually make it bounce or break the works. The interstellar facility can offer a solid foundation so that the material adheres to faster, and the giant planets will arise in less time.
Objects discovered in recent years (1I/’OUMUAMUA, 2I/Borisov, and now 3i/Atlas) confirm that the exchange of matter between the stars is more often than considered.
“The interstellar space can deliver seeds ready to form the next -generation planets”Pfalzner said during his conference, quoted in the press -release of Europlanet.

“The capture of interstellar objects is more effective in the dawn of a large mass. Thus, the formation of the planets planted by these bodies should be more common around massive stars, which would make gigantic planets in relatively short. And this speed is just what we observed”He added.
Although the study is still being developed, scientists plan new simulations to calculate the success level of these “seeds” and the exact areas of the album where exoplanets may arise.
Recent 3I/Atlas observations have also found a chemical composition, except for the solar system, in addition to the unusual evaporation process in the cold regions, which suggests that the object has received intense radiation or has a completely different core from conventional comts.
Why Comet 3i/Atlas called
The name “3i/Atlas” comes from its classification as the third interstellar object (3I), which is part of the solar system, and Atlas, the program of detection of the earthly blow alert system that revealed it.
3I:
- Me: It means interstellar.
- 3: Shows that this is the third interstellar facility confirmed when visiting our solar system, after 1I/ʻoumuamua (in 2017) and 2I/Borisov (in 2019).
Atlas:
- The name of the Discovery program revealed it: a system of terrestrial exposure (ground exposure to the latest alert system).
- It was a NASA telescope system funded by Rio Hurtada, Chile, entered the first report on July 1, 2025.
