We present optical spectroscopy of the recently discovered hyperbolic near-Earth object A/2017 U1, taken on 25 Oct 2017 at Palomar Observatory. Although our data are at a very low signal-to-noise, they indicate a very red surface at optical wavelengths without significant absorption features.

Precovery Observations of 3I/ATLAS from TESS Suggests Possible Distant Activity
astro-ph.EP 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Archival TESS images show 3I/ATLAS was brighter than distance effects alone can explain, implying possible cometary activity at ~6 au from the Sun.
