flag A 13-mile-wide interstellar object emitting toxic gas and defying comet norms is baffling scientists, with no known natural explanation.

flag A mysterious interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS, about 13 miles wide, is passing through our Solar System, emitting nickel tetracarbonyl—a toxic industrial compound never seen in nature—along with a jet of material pointing toward the Sun, defying known comet behavior. flag Detected by telescopes in Hawaii and confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope, the object’s unusual chemistry, lack of iron, and non-gravitational motion have baffled scientists, with Harvard’s Dr. Avi Loeb suggesting possible artificial origins. flag While no evidence of alien technology exists, the findings challenge natural explanations and have sparked global scientific interest. flag Observations were delayed due to a government shutdown, but researchers continue monitoring the object, which will exit the Solar System by 2026.
