I asked ChatGPT for a summary:
"3I/ATLAS is an interstellar visitor that doesn’t behave like any comet we know. It’s huge, gives off unusual gases, and shows strange chemistry that has some scientists wondering if it could even be artificial in origin. More answers should come as it swings close to the Sun in late 2025. In short: a massive interstellar object with a CO₂-dominated tail, odd nickel-without-iron chemistry, and an orbit strangely aligned with our Solar System — raising more questions than answers."
