New analysis from Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb suggests the interstellar object 3I/Atlas has catastrophically fragmented into at least 16 pieces. This video breaks down the startling evidence from the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes that points to a violent disintegration event. We explore the data that doesn't add up, including the object's mysterious non-gravitational acceleration, its unusual color change, and the impossible energy requirements for its massive outburst. The plot thickens as we examine recent ground-based images that reveal not a chaotic cloud of debris, but organized, geometric jets of material—structures that challenge the natural comet fragmentation hypothesis. We delve into the controversial possibility that this could be evidence of something more, as proposed by leading scientists. With the object's closest approach to Earth happening soon, this is a real-time cosmic mystery unfolding before our eyes. Join us as we follow the data and ask what this interstellar visitor is truly revealing about the objects that travel the dark spaces between stars. This is the story of 3I/Atlas.
