A new photo of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS allegedly leaked from NASA has led to intense online debate. Users claim it shows structural details like a spacecraft. Japanese observers reportedly captured a new image,

A Harvard astrophysicist who believes the Manhattan-sized comet hurtling towards Earth could possibly be fueled by alien technology has invited Kim Kardashian to join his research team — after she

Astronomers are baffled by 3I/ATLAS, a newly discovered interstellar object that appears to be defying the basic laws of celestial motion. Instead of drifting naturally through space, the mysterious body is exhibiting non-gravitational acceleration — behaviour some researchers suggest could indicate an engine-driven propulsion system.

"The implication of alien technology would be huge and therefore we must take it seriously,” Harvard's Avi Loeb told Newsweek.

What: Comet 3I/ATLAS reached perihelion on October 30, 2025. This special SETI Live explored what scientists have learned about its origin, chemistry, and trajectory as it passes through our Solar System.

Besides the media from the HiRISE cam, the Republican has also requested all the available content on the comet from other instruments, including “the Parker Solar Probe or other active observatories under NASA's purview, aside from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.”

A Harvard University professor has said that 3I/ATLAS experienced a sudden "nongravitational" acceleration while passing around the sun.

However, with ATLAS’s recent trajectory, in a recent blog post, Harvard scientist Avi Loeb claimed that the “non-gravitational acceleration might be the technological signature of an internal engine,” which might also be the reason behind the comet’s change in pigment — brighter and bluer — as it neared our solar system’s light source.
