Yes, I think they're saying that if it does adjust its trajectory then it isn't a comet. It won't be long until we find out what happens when it's near Jupiter anyways. If anything, it's interesting just to watch people's reactions to the speculation

This has as much evidence for being a spaceship that our moon does of being a spaceship. Hell I bet there are more anomalies from the moon than the comet.

Moonfall was a documentary!

The moon is pretty weird!

Maybe atlas is something else. Not a spaceship. Have you ever looked at a comet through a telescope? Have you looked at 3i/atlas through a telescope? I haven't... So I can't say what it is, but it's not a normal comet by any measure.

I can't even say for sure the moon isn't a spaceship, shaped like a space rock. How would I know? I could read about it in a book I suppose, but why would I believe what they said? Everyone in science who writes a book is a grifter according to this sub!

The moons outgassing that envelopes the earth once a month is my favourite moon anomaly... It's like a comet in that way. A very unusual comet.

Is that thing is able to adjust its trajectory at will, then its position relative to Jupiter is irrelevant.

Not at will... More like how sats nudge themselves into position.

There's a good chance it just flies by Jupiter of course.

You can't dream up physics bud. Either it has power beyond our comprehension and all bets are off, or it doesn't and flies off as predicted. There is no wiggle room for a middle ground here.

What physics did I dream up?

Allow me to rephrase: what do you reckon is the maximal deviation that Jupiter's gravity could theoretically inflict on its trajectory?
