NASA Set to Release Sharpest-Ever Images of 3I/ATLAS After Shutdown Delay, Raising Stakes in Alien Debate
NASA is preparing to release the highest-resolution photos ever captured of 3I/ATLAS, the Manhattan-sized interstellar object that has fueled both scientific intrigue and online speculation since its arrival in the Solar System. The images-taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera between October 1 and October 7-were delayed due to the U.S. government shutdown, but the agency told The Post they could be published as early as next week. The release is expected to be one of the most significant data drops yet for astronomers studying the mysterious visitor.

Radio Study Confirms 3I/ATLAS Is a Natural Interstellar Comet, Not an Alien Craft
Astronomers have confirmed that the mysterious radio signals from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS are of natural origin, ruling out speculation that it might be an alien probe. The analysis, released this week following detailed observations using South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope array, brings closure to a wave of online theories that followed the object's reappearance from behind the Sun in late October.

3I/Atlas Stuns Scientists with Sudden Tail Growth and Mysterious Cosmic Signal Nearing Earth
Astronomers around the world are tracking an interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, that has defied scientific expectations with an unusually fast-growing tail and a mysterious radio signal detected from its vicinity. The cosmic traveler, now nearing its closest approach to Earth, is being closely studied by observatories across three continents as scientists struggle to explain its unpredictable behavior.

Scientists Debunk 3I/ATLAS ‘Explosion’ Claims: Interstellar Comet Survived Solar Encounter Intact
Astronomers have dismissed viral online claims that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was destroyed near the Sun, confirming that the celestial visitor remains intact after passing its closest approach, or perihelion. The flurry of misinformation, triggered by grainy videos and sensational posts, spread rapidly this week as the comet temporarily disappeared from Earth's view.

3I/ATLAS Warning: Scientists Reveal Impact Zones Where Most of the World’s Population Lives
The appearance of 3I/ATLAS, the third confirmed interstellar object to pass through our solar system, has reignited fears about what might happen if such a cosmic visitor were ever on a collision course with Earth. Detected on July 1, 3I/ATLAS recently made its closest approach to the Sun and is now moving past Earth at a distance scientists consider completely safe. Yet, the interstellar traveler has inspired sobering new research into what parts of our planet would suffer most if an object like it were to strike.

Scientific Feud Intensifies Over 3I/ATLAS as Loeb Claims Kaku Offers ‘Commentary, Not Calculations’
A growing scientific dispute over the interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS has escalated into a public feud between two of the world's most recognizable physicists, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. The disagreement underscores deep divisions over how to interpret limited data on rare objects entering the solar system-and how boldly scientists should speculate in the absence of definitive evidence.

Michio Kaku Counters Avi Loeb’s 3I/ATLAS Theory: ‘It’s Garbage,’ Scientist Says
The scientific debate surrounding interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has escalated sharply, with leading physicists publicly clashing over whether the object's unusual behavior indicates a natural origin or advanced extraterrestrial engineering. The disagreement, centered between Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku, has widened as new observational data and public commentary deepen the divide.

Radio Detection Confirms 3I/ATLAS’ Cometary Activity as New Images Suggest Possible Fragmentation
An interstellar object passing through the Solar System is prompting renewed scientific scrutiny as new radio observations support its classification as a comet, even as fresh imaging raises the possibility that it fragmented following its close pass near the Sun. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is only the third interstellar visitor ever detected, and its behavior continues to generate intense academic debate and widespread public speculation.

U.K. Doctors Report Surge in Men Seeking TRT, Citing TikTok Influence and Misleading Health Claims
A growing number of men in the United Kingdom are seeking testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) after exposure to influencers and fitness content on social media platforms, prompting concern among NHS endocrinologists who warn that many of these patients do not meet the medical criteria for treatment. The trend underscores the widening influence of health-related messaging online and the strain it is placing on clinical practices attempting to distinguish legitimate hormone deficiency from lifestyle-driven demand.
