3I/ATLAS: A city-sized alien spacecraft or simply the ‘coolest comet’ ever seen?
Harvard professor Avi Loeb claims 3I/ATLAS could be an alien spacecraft. Arizona State University professor Steven Desch is sure it isn't.

A new 3D map of interstellar dust with Gaia! 🌌
A new study, led by Marie Barbillon, exploited the spectroscopic parametriser from Gaia DR3 to build a high-resolution extinction map! It extends up to 4 kpc from the Sun, with a finer version focused on the Local Bubble area.

A thread worth reading slowly.
It explains, clearly and straight to the point, why Loeb’s claims about #3I/ATLAS don’t hold up—not a matter of opinion, but of comet physics anyone can check.
The tail isn’t escaping gas, it’s dust pushed by solar radiation.

Avi Loeb's calculations about 3I/ATLAS are 100% wrong because he has never understood that dust in the tail(s) responds to solar radiation pressure. Solar wind shapes the ion tail. But the radiation pressure is about 1000 times larger than the solar wind ram pressure, for particles that feel it.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was born with different and more ancient chemistry, has been more irradiated, and is speeding toward the Sun faster compared to Solar System comets. It's got a unique personality. But since literally Day 1 it was recognized as a comet and has only ever done comety things.
I've summarized the truth about Loeb's 10 "anomalies" about 3I/ATLAS in one post.
