    "A prominent Harvard astrophysicist has claimed that a mysterious object moving through our solar system could be a nuclear-powered spacecraft."

    "Professor Avi Loeb, director of the Galileo Project, which hunts for
    signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, said the interstellar object
    known as 3I/ATLAS exhibits characteristics suggesting it is not a
    typical comet, contrary to NASA’s assessment."

    "One of those signs is the appearance that the object is generating its
    own light, suggesting to Loeb that the light comes from a source of
    nuclear energy on the 3I/ATLAS' surface."

    "The light was seen in a recent photo taken by the Hubble Space
    Telescope on July 21, which appeared as a glowing area focused on the
    side of the object facing the sun."

    Facing the sun, a bright spot on a rock could be a patch of ice.
    I wish it was an alien spacecraft but other things are more likely.

    This sort of nonsense actually lends credence to a certain Orange
    POTUS with respect to his attacks on Harvard and other prestigious
    schools.

    OK, academic freedom and freedom of speech both include the freedom to
    make ludicrous statements, but /really/.
