Summary of all the anomalies. I mean the trajectory by itself was beyond coincidental to begin with, nearly 2 months ago. But you would have expected as more data for it to come into focus under a normal lens. The opposite has happened so far - many of the new data points are only showing...

Another day, another 3I / Atlas anomaly. This time, detection of nickel without any iron, previously unheard of in comets. Link to the paper, and copilot summary of it: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.18382 Summary of Findings 1. Detection of Nickel Without Iron The team observed 22 distinct...

Latest paper on 3I / Atlas from a team using SphereX observations Aug 8-12 have it with uniform CO2 coma, no water gas in the coma which they are puzzled about at that range, and no tail in any direction. Most massive estimate of its nucleus yet - 46 km diameter ! Note - we have never seen a...

The Hubble images of 3I / Atlas - released a bit ago - showed a coma and "tail" but the tail isn't pointing away from the sun but towards it. That's not normal for comets, but could be explainable as I understand if its shedding heavier particles. Typical particles and gas emitted by comets...

Too bad they didn't put it in Apple and forget.. looks like it was around $0.13 - $0.20 vs. today's price considering all splits. Over 1000x gains. Its funny how Gump shows early investment in Apple by Lieutenant Dan as being some sort of life changing event... but the reality is all they...

Some of Jesse Michels vids are interviews where he just eats up everything he is told and doesn't really try to debunk what he's told too much. This one I feel like he tried to be a bit more balanced, consider the debunkers angles etc. Pretty well done and interesting vid on the Nazca mummies...

Haven't heard that, would be cool. Unrelated to JWST, what I heard is that by that date (Aug 6th) we should start to either see some outgassing and / or a tail pointing away from the sun due to the solar pressure. Thus far they have not observed a tail pointing away from the sun at all yet, I...

Nobody has ever said its on course to intercept earth - if it stays on its current trajectory, it will pass pretty close to Mars, and a little further from both Venus and Jupiter. Its not supposed to get close to earth. Avi Loeb said if it were technological, it could be made to perform a...

And lastly, regardless of what it is, we should want to study it because its possibly the oldest object we've ever observed passing through the solar system, older than the solar system itself. When this first popped up, everybody was saying there was no way we could intercept it before it...

Nope - analysis of the Vera C. Rubin data estimates the nucleus to be 7 miles in diameter. Roughly same size as Rama btw... https://www.livescience.com/space/comets/3i-atlas-is-7-miles-wide-the-largest-interstellar-object-ever-seen-new-photos-from-vera-c-rubin-observatory-reveal

I posted about the improbable trajectory in the astronomy thread even before Avi Loeb brought it up. Its extremely unlikely that an interstellar object comes within less than 0.4 AU of 3 different planets on one shot path through the solar system, something like 1 in 20,000. And pretty much in...

Not complicated - its the covid money + work from home. One way or another, those trillions make their way into the US housing market. Suburban and rural prices have likely appreciated the most due to work from home flexibility. Then end.

Avi Loeb and a couple others just put out a draft paper on the possibility of 3I/Atlas being something "technological" - expanding on the thing I pointed out above that it gets improbably close to multiple planets, in addition to other improbable characteristics. Multiple times from the start...

Thought the relatively close approaches of 3I/Atlas by Mars and Jupiter both was interesting and asked Grok what the odds are of that... C3P0 gave better odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field. Grok's estimate for this two-planet pass trajectory was 114,000 to 1: 3. Geometric...
