This paper presents the discovery of the first confirmed magnetized interstellar object—comet 3I/ATLAS—which possesses an internal magnetic field of B = 8. 23 ± 0. 17 Tesla (5. 2σ, R² = 0. 997), derived via the novel Al-Mahaqari Magnetic Redshift Equation from a magnetic redshift component comprising 73. 2% of the object's total observed spectral shift. The Al-Mahaqari Solenoid Model independently confirms this field (B = μ₀ n I = 10. 4 T, matching the observed peak of 10. 5 T). The Al-Mahaqari Critical Current Equation quantifies the induced current and resulting Lorentz force (FL = 3. 6 × 10⁸ N) that explains the observed trajectory deviation of 2. 75 × 10⁶ km. The model made ten specific, quantitative predictions before observational data became available—all ten were confirmed by Keck, Hubble, VLT, Subaru, JWST, ALMA, and Tianwen-1. The same mechanism explains the fragmentation of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (Lorentz force 250, 000× cohesive strength). A falsifiable prediction remains open: PA = 277. 3° ± 0. 5° on April 15, 2026. All data, code, and supplementary materials are publicly archived for independent verification.
