"It's going to look different because it didn't come from our solar system and that's what makes it so magical."

Harvard scientist Avi Loeb speculated that NASA’s recently released photos of 3I/ATLAS could potentially point to its artificial origins — and even wondered if the so-called comet was purposely targeting and sweeping meteorites out of its path. He posited his theory in a viral new blog post on Medium.

ESA's ExoMars orbiter has tracked interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at unprecedented speed, refining its trajectory and offering vital lessons for planetary defence.

The new study involved taking a fresh look at the "Altamura Man," which is an exceptionally well-preserved Neanderthal skeleton covered in a thick layer of calcite, sometimes called "cave popcorn." The researchers' findings suggest that the size of Neanderthal noses might not have had anything to do with living in cold temperatures.
