Could comet 3I/Atlas explain the 1977 Wow! Signal?
Harvard’s Avi Loeb suggests the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas may have emitted the powerful radio burst known as the 1977 Wow! Signal. His calculations show the comet’s position nearly matched the signal’s coordinates with under a 1% chance of coincidence. As 3I/Atlas nears Mars, upcoming observations could test this provocative hypothesis.
