The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (a cousin of Oumuamua) is baffling astronomers with its extremely fast 16-hour rotation and a rapidly fading cometary tail. These unusual characteristics defy typical solar system comet behavior and hold the key to decoding its true nature. In this in-depth analysis, we examine how the rotation and gas dynamics point to a non-gravitational push and a potentially exotic composition from a distant stellar system.
📌 In this video, you will learn:
• How astronomers measured the rapid 16-hour rotation period of 3I/ATLAS.
• The significance of a rapidly fading tail and what it suggests about the volatility of its gases.
• The 'non-gravitational push' hypothesis and how the rotation influences this acceleration.
• The implications of the rotation for its shape and density: Is 3I/ATLAS a dense rock or a loose "snowball"?
• What the combination of fast spin and gas dynamics reveals about its formation in an exotic stellar system.
📚 Based on high-resolution telescope data and detailed astrophysical modeling of interstellar comet nucleus dynamics.
