Scientists found the interstellar object brightened fivefold but showed no comet tail, raising new questions about its nature and possible artificial origin. 3I/ATLAS News : Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb reignites the cosmic mystery around interstellar object 3I / ATLAS , claiming it underwent rapid brightening and a strange blue shift unlike any known comet.
