New headlines are circulating after reports suggested the James Webb Space Telescope detected data involving 3I/ATLAS that some are interpreting as a potential collision risk with Mars. In this video, we break down what Webb actually observed, how orbital projections are made, and why scientists urge caution when early interpretations spread online.
We examine NASA’s standard process for assessing impact probabilities, what is publicly known about 3I/ATLAS’s trajectory, and why preliminary data can be misunderstood outside scientific context. As speculation gains traction across social media, this moment is fueling renewed debate about space monitoring, risk assessment, and how discoveries are communicated. Stay tuned for context, analysis, and key details.
