According to him, this behavior occurs because comets heat up unevenly as they approach the Sun. The side facing the Sun warms faster, and if a weak spot gets hot enough, it can release material thousands of kilometers into space, much like a geyser, in the Sun’s direction.

NASA and ESA say 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth. We explain its nickel-heavy readings, IAWN’s training drill, and why the Harvard alien claim lacks proof.

Avi Loeb, the head of the Galileo Project, claims that 3I/ATLAS comet could bring financial win to humanity. Here's what he explained.

A pair of space probes cruising the solar system may be able to pass through the tail of the mysterious Manhattan-sized comet hurtling towards Earth — but only if the scientists operating

Though NASA confirms that 3I/ATLAS poses no immediate threat to Earth, its unusual trajectory and behaviour have stirred concerns. Scientists ask what might occur if the object were on a collision course and how the impact could play out. The scenario remains hypothetical yet instructive for understanding cosmic risks.

In particular, one scientist has claimed it could even be an 'alien mothership', with a few key differences which he claims are 'not natural', such as releasing a metal compound never seen before in nature, or the trajectory of its particles.
