3I/Atlas

[CrusaderFrank]

It will be quiet for a while now

After some blurry photo from Mars, the comet is now out of our viewing capability. Later in the year it will once again become observable from Earth.

There is a lot of clickbait available: it's gonna crash into Earth! Wheeze all gunna dye!! It's CO2 monster. Might be intentional disinformation to distract from the very real non-comet-like behavior that definitely was observed

Stay tuned

I previously mentioned amateur astronomer and YouTuber Dobsonian Power as someone who has provided quality images of 3I

His latest images make it impossible for me to believe that NASA and ESA are being honest with us

Update

She cut Avi Lieb short but he said that the latest anomaly is that unlike normal comets 3I actually became HOTTER than the surface of the Sun. Every other object is usually 20 times cooler

He also mentioned potential non-gravitational acceleration. An inert space rock moves purely by gravitational acceleration

In addition, NASA is still not releasing whatever photos the took from Mars which should have 3 times the resolution of the Hubble images

NASA update: No tail to tell

As it approached the Sun, the tail vanished in a very uncometlike fashion

Will post photos when cell coverage allows

 

[CrusaderFrank]

According to Avi Loeb, for 3I to travel as it did behind the Sun either:

a) it lost 1/6th of its total mass, or
b) it has a propulsion system

The loss of mass, if applicable, will be observable once it exits from behind the Sun.

It’s apparent brightness as it reached closed point to the Sun was literally off the charts, 20 brighter than normal comets

Also, oddly for a natural comet, it glowed hotter than the surface of the Sun

Below is why many believe NASA is hiding something

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Now that it’s visible again to most Earth ground based telescopes we’ll see one of two things: a giant plume of the material it shed, 1/6th of its mass, as it sped up behind the Sun or no plume meaning that it has a propulsion system

Stay tuned

China Mars probe retasked to photograph 3I. China more cooperative and forthcoming than NASA

More mysteries: blue glow, shielding??

For those who want to believe this is a manned spacecraft, at its current velocity (152,000 mph), it would take 18,000 years to reach the nearest star

Your assumption of course, is that it will remain at the same speed once it leaves the solar system, yeah?

If you are in a national park, and slow your car down to look at the deer and buffalo, does that mean you will being doing that same speed on the interstate?

No, I expect it to jump into warp drive as soon as it leaves the solar system

Funny you say that

Its behavior at closest approach to the Sun was unlike any normal comet. According to Avi Loeb there are now 10 anomalies

It glowed blue, far hotter than any solar heating alone can explain.

It changed its trajectory, slightly, but in excess of the effect of gravity alone

Oh and NASA still has not released what should be the clearest images it captured as it passed the probes on Mars that were retasked with photographing 3I

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Also, US Intel Agencies CLASSIFIED and won’t release spectroscopy from GOES 19 satellite, which was one of three Solar observation satellites that tracked 3I at perihelion.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yeah, it’s a strange one

Enters on the ecliptic, has its own light sources (?)

Does not come near Earth — yet

It’s a “comet” that had a “tail” facing the Sun when we first spotted it at a distance too far to melt ice. I wondered if that was a breaking maneuver.

Now apparently after perihelion it has no tail

Avi Loeb had been cautious about his assessment. He has now 10 separate anomalies. But when you couple NASA refusal to release the photos from Mars, which are theoretically 3 times clearer and more detailed than Hubble photo PLUS US government locked down data from one of the Solar satellites— it’s sure doesn’t seem like a comet

You want so badly for this to be an alien spacecraft.
18,000 years for this thing to reach the nearest star

From AI
3I/ATLAS turned blue primarily because of emissions of excited gases, such as ionized carbon monoxide and possibly other molecules like cyanogen or ammonia. The blue color is a result of these gases scattering sunlight, which is a more gas-rich composition compared to comets that appear red due to dust.

• Gases:The color change is most likely due to the high-intensity solar heating as the comet approached the Sun, causing it to release gases. These gases, particularly ionized carbon monoxide glow blue when energized by the sun. Other possibilities include molecules like cyanogen or ammonia, which also produce blue or green colors.
• Composition: A blue color indicates a higher concentration of gas versus dust. Dust-rich comets often appear red because fine particles scatter blue light, allowing more red light to pass through, similar to how smoke from a forest fire makes the sky appear red

It’s literally the one and only “comet” to ever turn blue
