If 3I/Atlas is interested in a planet in our Solar System, it looks like it is Jupiter.3I/Atlas changed its trajectory so that it or objects it releases can be captured by Jupiter's gravity (after slowing down - easier for smaller probes)

The nongravitational acceleration was just enough to make it possible. Another coincidence?

Closest approch to Jupiter March 16 - beware the ides of March
