3I, NASA and Avi Loeb
Digest more
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is losing an insane amount of mass after making its closest pass of the sun last month — a phenomenon known as perihelion — prompting Harvard scientist Avi Loeb to speculate that the object might have fragmented into over a dozen pieces.
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is still not giving up hope that 3I/ATLAS could be an alien mothership and says it's too early to call it.
Meanwhile, the ESA’s (European Space Agency) Mars-based Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft has snapped a few images that the agency has published on social media. ESA remarked that they “pinpointed the comet's path with 10 times more accuracy, using data from ” ESA ExoMars TGO probe.
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb claims the comet may be a spacecraft after it did not break up following perihelion.
