NASA responds to Kim Kardashian’s ‘tea’ on alien comet 3I/ATLAS
Kim Kardashian’s viral question about interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS prompted NASA to clarify no alien threat exists. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb criticised NASA for withholding data from scientists amid a shutdown and invited Kardashian to join his research team, highlighting the role of celebrity in science communication. New data is expected after the comet passes the Sun.
