My wife caught a partial eclipse unknowingly while trying to capture the sunset in South Texas. She liked the photo, showed it to me, and I noticed a circular cloud shape that seemed quite odd.

I looked up the time and discovered that folks in Arizona and New Mexico were in the path to see a partial eclipse, but Texas was not, unless you catch it at dusk. Pretty cool.
 
3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
