‘Spaceship’ 3I/ATLAS heading for earth as newest anomaly might show alien principle

The controversial 3I/ATLAS comet might be a spaceship from another world, or it could just be a comet from some far-off distant universe we’re never going to make it to

All you need to know about 3I/ATLAS from latest anomaly to what Jupiter journey means

  • 3I/ATLAS is a newly discovered interstellar comet, the third one ever detected, that is passing through our solar system
  • Experts claim that it is an active comet, consisting of a solid icy nucleus and a gas-and-dust cloud called a coma, which is formed as the Sun heats the nucleus.
  • Theoretical physicist Avi Loeb has been leading speculation that the so-called 3I/ATLAS comet is actually a “spaceship”.
  • His suggestion that humanity is not alone in the universe caused such a stir that NASA held a press conference to address the rumours
  • He now claims that “if the rare coincidence between the perijove distance (minimum distance between an orbiting body and the planet Jupiter) of 3I/ATLAS and the Hill radius will materialize (on a journey to Jupiter), it might flag a technological signature.”
  • The comet/spaceship will hit Jupiter sometime around March, and could show signs of alien tech at that point.
  • In short, would could finally find out in March what’s going on, and that is something that Avi Loeb added could “not to be settled by the authority of NASA officials in press conferences”.
