Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS shows an unexpected frontal glow that Harvard's Avi Loeb says cannot be explained by sunlight ...

A Harvard scientist has suggested that an interstellar object passing through the solar system might be a nuclear-powered alien spaceship. Most astronomers believe the object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, […] ...

Astronomers estimate it's roughly the size of the island of Manhattan. It's only the third known object from interstellar space to pass through our solar system.
