Isotopic Clues from Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Hint at Cold, Ancient Origins—But Interpretations Remain Open
To the point
Isotopic data from the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS suggest it formed in a very cold, metal-poor region of the early galaxy billions of years ago, possibly in a distant planetary system’s proto-planetary disk, but Avi Loeb remains skeptical and notes that natural processes over eons or even potential technosignatures could explain the observations.
