Ever since interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS entered view in July, its strange behaviour, shifting colours, erratic motion, a puzzling 16.16-hour “heartbeat,” has fuelled both scientific curiosity and speculation. Now, NASA astrochemist Martin Cordiner’s team has detected unusually abundant methanol and hydrogen cyanide in its plume, chemicals linked to life’s origins. Harvard’s Avi Loeb says the new data only deepens the mystery.Ever since interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS entered view in July, its strange behaviour, shifting colours, erratic motion, a puzzling 16.16-hour “heartbeat,” has fuelled both scientific curiosity and speculation.

Former CIA counterterrorism chief John Kiriakou has reignited public anxiety after bluntly confirming that the agency can access phones, laptops, cars and even smart TVs, capabilities echoed in the Vault 7 leaks. His remarks, delivered in LADbible’s Honesty Box, pull back the curtain on how far modern intelligence work has drifted from public oversight, operating in secrecy behind shifting presidential mandates.

She argues the incident became public spectacle without context, causing lasting personal and professional fallout.
Comet 3I/ATLAS has already puzzled astronomers with its odd trajectory, twin tails and sudden bursts of activity. Now a rhythmic 16.16-hour “heartbeat” has become the latest mystery. Most researchers see a rotating, venting comet. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb argues the pulse points instead to jets driving the brightness “like a bloodstream”, keeping open, cautiously, the possibility of something more engineered.New York's mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist focused on housing justice, is set to move into the historic Gracie Mansi...
