The International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) Planetary Defense System was activated for Comet 3I/ATLAS due to its "intelligent" behavior and UFO-like anomalies in its trajectory and composition . Some specific reasons include: - Unprecedented Anomalies: 3I/ATLAS is exhibiting behavior that defies conventional explanations, such as a sunward-facing jet of material, which is unusual for comets. - Industrial-Like Composition: The comet contains nickel tetracarbonyl, a compo

Comet 3I/ATLAS is a fascinating interstellar comet that's captivating scientists with its unique composition: - High Carbon Dioxide Content: 3I/ATLAS has an unusually high ratio of carbon dioxide (CO2) to water, with a CO2-to-water mixing ratio of 8.0±1.0, one of the highest seen in a comet, especially at its distance from the Sun (3.32 AU). - Methanol and Organic Molecules: The comet contains methanol (CH3OH), a key molecule for forming complex organic compounds like sugars,
