Can some planetary scientist please teach Avi the most fundamental basics of comets? Like how tails work, and what previous comets look and act like? Because holy moly, this is embarrassing.

Astronomy is so weird sometimes. You can't tell how big that object is without some sense of scale… but it's well over SIXTY BILLION KILOMETERS ACROSS.

Just to reiterate for the curious:
While there's *nothing wrong* with thinking about whether some interstellar objects could be alien technology, 3I/ATLAS has had its coma clearly detected since July 3. It's very clearly, *unambiguously*, a comet.

OK, looks like 3I/ATLAS is a comet! If it were an asteroid the image would be symmetric circles. The distortion is likely due to ices sublimating to form a gaseous tail.
