3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object from outside our Solar System passing through this celestial region, has captivated astronomers, science enthusiasts, and the general public. Everyone is keeping an eye on this mysterious 'comet' due to its strange behaviour as it swept past the Sun this year.
Amid a flurry of theories and hypotheses about 3I/ATLAS, Harvard scientist Avi Loeb—known for his bold takes on interstellar objects—is now suggesting that this interstellar visitor may have disintegrated near the Sun. He also points to its strange jets and massive material loss, raising even more intriguing questions, including a potential alien connection.
