Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS has changed course due to non-gravitational acceleration, likely caused by losing a significant amount of mass as it passed close to the sun. This outgassing of volatile ices from its surface acted like a thruster, slightly altering its path. Recent observations indicate the acceleration has weakened since its closest approach to the sun but remains noticeable and not explained by solar gravity alone.
Course change: Recent observations show that 3I/ATLAS has shifted its trajectory slightly in a process called non-gravitational acceleration.
Cause: This change is likely caused by the outgassing of volatile ices, which is similar to how a rocket engine works, pushing the object off its expected gravitational path.
Mass loss: For this acceleration to have occurred, scientists estimate the comet may have lost at least 13% of its mass during its close pass by the sun.
Ongoing observation: The acceleration has weakened since the object's perihelion (closest approach to the sun), but it is still being closely watched. The James Webb Space Telescope will be used to look for the large cloud of gas and dust that would have been released during this event.
