Did 'intact' 3I/ATLAS gain speed from the Sun’s gravity and pick up pace toward Earth? What Harvard scientist thinks about spacecraft's post-perihelion maneuver

Wait 5 sec.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS remains intact, dispelling breakup rumors, according to Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. Recent images confirm it's a single, stable body, not fragmented after its close solar approach. The comet has developed a sunward-pointing anti-tail, a puzzling but natural phenomenon. Scientists are closely monitoring its trajectory, which poses no threat to Earth.
