Story summary

Avi Loeb, a Harvard University astrophysicist, proposes that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may deploy satellites toward Jupiter.
Loeb notes that on March 16, 2026, 3I/ATLAS's trajectory closely aligns with Jupiter's Hill radius.
Loeb argues the object's unusual acceleration and jet structure suggest artificial thrusters enabling course corrections.
NASA maintains that 3I/ATLAS is a comet, even as Loeb's observations raise questions about its nature and implications for extraterrestrial intelligence.
