And 31 Atlas, its speed, its speed in the long, it's actually traveling really fast, it's actually traveling faster than anything else in our solar system. It's clipping a lot more than 130,000 miles an hour, 210,000 kilometers an hour, and it follows a mutually flat street path which resembles nothing in our solar system. It's about 3.5 miles, 5.6 kilometers wide, and probably the biggest interstellar object seen so far. And it's most likely the oldest, probably coming around 3 billion years older than the solar system itself, which is about 4.6 billion years. And no one has the foggiest where it came from, at least not yet. And some unorthodox theories have suggested that the possible remains of extraterrestrial technology in disguise, and probably unlikely, Abby Wove, who is a physicist from Harvard, was making a suggestion, he suggested Oumuamua along the same lines. And the speed is the highest velocity ever documented for a solar system object. And this is evidence that it's been traveling for billions of years, and it's gaining speed from gravitational boosts as it's traveling past stars on the planet. So it just gets this incremental boost from gravity, and that's what's charted up to the astounding speed of 130,000 miles per hour. And after it leaves this solar system and it travels further, it'll get a boost from all the objects that's passing that's going through our solar system, and that will also increase its speed. And it'll happen again and again as it's traveling from place to place.
