Key Topics:
3I/ATLAS December 2025 size measurements reveal one kilometer diameter from non-gravitational acceleration analysis compared to five kilometer lower bound from earlier observations. Forbes paper calculates 820 to 1050 meters using October perihelion data while Cloete Loeb Veres paper establishes minimum 33 trillion kilogram mass from May September lack of detectable acceleration. Mass contradiction shows 260 billion kilograms versus 33 trillion kilograms creating 127 times difference. NASA JPL Horizons non-gravitational acceleration peaked 89.3 times ten to negative nine astronomical units per day squared. Webb telescope measured carbon dioxide water ratio 7.6 to 1 with total mass loss 150 kilograms per second and gas outflow 440 meters per second. Measurement methods compare jetted material momentum with observed trajectory deviations. Scientific explanations include NASA acceleration downsizing from model changes, mass loss over time from perihelion heating, asymmetric outgassing jet orientations, density assumption variations, measurement uncertainty error bars, and interstellar object uniqueness requiring new physics models. December 19 2025 closest Earth approach at 269 million kilometers allows Hubble James Webb ground telescopes detailed observations resolving contradiction.
