The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS exhibited unusual phenomena such as a sunward jet maintained after a 16-degree gravitational deflection at perihelion, along with other anomalies suggesting possible technological origins, prompting ongoing observation and analysis by scientists.
A scientist from the University of Murcia has developed an equation to better predict the paths of potentially hazardous asteroids by accounting for gravitational deflection of light. This advancement could improve planetary defense strategies by providing more accurate asteroid tracking, allowing for timely interventions to prevent collisions with Earth. The equation also has broader applications in astronomy, such as mapping distant galaxies and studying exoplanets.
