    THE NON-GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION OF 3I/ATLAS: New data from NASA's Psyche spacecraft and ESA's Mars Trace Gas Orbiter confirm that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is not moving under the force of gravity alone. It has a "non-gravitational acceleration." The effect can be explained entirely by cometary outgassing, and allows astronomers to weigh the comet from afar.
