An object has been spotted entering our solar system that MAY be nuclear powered. It appears it will be very close by late October. It’s an interesting article for those who are curious.

“Manhattan-size interstellar object appears to emit its own light: Harvard scientist“

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS appears to emit its own light: Harvard scientist

Did you change your post from "solar powered" to "nuclear powered"?

Just asking as the above "Reply" is different from the original.

Yes, I do apologize for the error. It is “supposed” to be nuclear powered because of its forward emission of light? I don’t know that solar power would necessarily function well as intergalactic travel anyway? The article states nuclear.

Thank you for explaining

I think I must have been Replying at the exact same time that you were editing, and the system couldn't cope


And we've all made plenty of typos of our own :-)
