Elon Musk recently made headlines when he warned that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could pose a catastrophic threat if it were ever to collide with Earth. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Musk suggested that the comet has the potential to cause devastation on a scale that could wipe out an entire continent.
While his comments have fueled public speculation, experts insist there is no immediate danger. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has confirmed that the comet's trajectory is well-tracked and does not intersect with Earth's orbit. 'The Comet 3I/ATLAS poses no threat to Earth and will remain far away, coming only about as close as the orbit of Mars,' the space agency said.
