Harvard Astronomer Says Mysterious Interstellar Object May Be Blasting Its Thrusters to Get Away From Us as Fast as Possible
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb says interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could be firing its "thrusters" to leave the solar system.
I/ATLAS interstellar comet post-perihelion maneuver unnatural? New images show the comet as a single body after its perihelion passage. The new findings raise questions about its jets, mass loss, energy needs,
