Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: Alien Probe or Natural Object?
TL;DR Summary
The article discusses the potential natural or artificial nature of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS by examining its non-gravitational acceleration, which could indicate whether it is a natural comet or a technologically propelled object. Current observations suggest it is a dust-rich comet with minimal gas emission, and its expected non-gravitational acceleration is much lower than that of 'Oumuamua, but precise measurements are needed to determine its true nature.
