Loeb appeared on “America Right Now” to discuss the latest findings surrounding the interstellar object 3I/Atlas. Loeb said the object recently displayed unexpected movement and brightness changes as it approached the sun, prompting fresh scientific scrutiny but also caution.
“It did maneuver. It deviated from the path that we would have expected it to go through, if its trajectory was scuttled by gravity alone, and the amount of boost to its velocity was equivalent to a jet carrying 5 billion tons of matter, that would give it a recoil,” Loeb explained.
