Comet 3I/ATLAS reveals glowing coma, plasma and dust tails from ESA’s Juice mission/ Image: European Space Agency Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has made a kind of second career out of being the person in the room who refuses to leave “aliens” off the table. With 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar object ever spotted passing […]

Why Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb thinks 3I/ATLAS is defying comet physics

A new set of deep-space images has reignited one of the strangest scientific arguments of 2025. The photos show sideways jet-like lines shooting out from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Their geometry is so unusual that Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb says they may not be natural at all.Some astronomers insist the object is simply a weird […]

Scientists call 3I/ATLAS a rare “Black Swan” object as astronomers watch its strange path and possible alien clues |

Astronomers across the world are turning their telescopes toward one of the most mysterious objects ever detected in space 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1). The Minor Planet Centre has launched a large-scale global campaign, running from 27 November 2025 to 27 January 2026, to study this rare interstellar object that has entered our solar system from beyond.Led […]
