A 7-mile-long object named 3I/ATLAS is speeding toward the inner solar system — and it’s unlike anything astronomers have seen before. While it was initially classified as a comet, Harvard’s Avi Loeb is raising eyebrows by suggesting it might actually be an alien spacecraft. The reason? Its path is highly unusual, and its movement hints at a level of control not typically seen in natural space objects.
3I/ATLAS will swing closest to the Sun on October 29, offering scientists a rare chance to study it up close. Whether it’s a bizarre comet or evidence of extraterrestrial engineering, one thing is certain — the universe still has the power to shock us.
