The Diva Who Prefers CO₂ to H₂O — A Cosmic Snub
It was supposed to behave like a regular comet. But instead, 3I/ATLAS: The Carbon Dioxide Diva
gave astronomers the cold shoulder — literally — by skipping the ice and going full greenhouse gas.
Snubbing Tradition
Scientists are baffled: most comets are frozen balls of water and dust. But ATLAS decided water was too mainstream. They now call it the diva who prefers CO₂ to H₂O
. Like a celebrity refusing tap water, it outgassed nothing but pure carbon dioxide.
Some describe it as a CO₂-spewing interstellar wanderer
. Others just call it rude.
Branded Satire
As Bohiney’s cosmic diva profile
quipped:
“This is the first comet to demand Fiji water but settle for CO₂.”

Meanwhile, Bohiney article on 3I/ATLAS
wrote:
“Forget Earth’s climate crisis — outer space is now running on carbon dioxide fumes.”
Funny Punchline
Twitter renamed it the interstellar diva dripping dry ice
, because apparently even rocks want to look dramatic.
Satirical Advice
If you can’t be icy, be gassy.
Don’t trust a diva comet — it’ll change its chemistry mid-tour.
