November 7, 2025Nov 7 comment_28503281 Quote Scientists are keeping a close eye on a massive object flying straight toward our sun. The Manhattan sized object is called 3I/Atlas. And during observations, scientists have been seeing it change color and even grow a cometary tail. Their findings have led to some belief that this object may actually be made by another life form A little background on what it might be in case you've never heard of it. Quote The NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first reported observations to the Minor Planet Center of comet 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025. Since the first report, observations made before the discovery were gathered from the archives of three different ATLAS telescopes around the world and Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. These "pre-discovery" observations extend back to June 14, 2025. How this comet got its name: Comets are generally named for their discoverer(s), in this case the ATLAS survey team. The letter "I" is for "interstellar," indicating that this object came from outside our solar system. It's the third known interstellar object, hence the "3" in the name. https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/comets/3i-atlas/#:~:text=It's the third known interstellar object%2C hence,that the comet originated from interstellar space. But since the discovery, it has been doing weird questionable things that a comet shouldn't do.

November 7, 2025Nov 7 comment_28503296 There has been too many AI written garbage about 3I Atlas. NASA has been silent about it last I checked. Isn't it behind our Sun? Could be why they've been silent. You can't collect data if you can't see the actual object.

I think it went behind the sun, then it started changing colors and then started getting faster. I dunno its doing weird sh*t.

November 7, 2025Nov 7 comment_28503359 Apparently it doesn't have a tail anymore which means it may not be a comet after all!
