THE NON-GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION OF 3I/ATLAS

Image
 Hey, Space Placers! Comet C/2021 A1 Greg Redfern From SpaceWeather.com: "When non-experts hear that "Comet 3I/ATLAS has non-gravitational acceleration," some think it means the interstellar object must be a spaceship. Not so.  All  comets have non-gravitational acceleration.  A  new paper  published in  Research Notes of the AAS  explains why--and shows how 3I/ATLAS behaves very much like the comets we know from our own Solar System."
