3I/ATLAS alive? Interstellar visitor shows a ‘heartbeat,’ pumping gas like ‘blood’ every 16.16 hours; new shocking theory reignites debate as it nears

3I/ATLAS alive? Interstellar visitor shows a ‘heartbeat,’ pumping gas like ‘blood’ every 16.16 hours; new shocking theory reignites debate as it nears

A new analysis suggests the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS may be releasing gas and dust in periodic bursts. This creates a heartbeat-like pattern explaining its unusual light variations. Recent observations captured prominent jets. Scientists propose this could be due to ice patches facing the Sun, triggering sublimation. Future observations will confirm if these pulses are natural or something more unusual.
