Worrisome. What's Musk saying about it? Ayes trying to steal his roadster?
Times like these, we could use a man like John Carpenter, or some other cheap Jesus knockoff character. Someone to bring more false hope to the masses.

>distraction and misdirect
from what, doing my job and drinking too much? hardly anyone is even talking about it too.

>its going to the point behind the sun where it would be most optimal to make a course adjustment for earth
Its real but they will try to destroy it in secret before it reaches earth. Maybe they have lasers at the other side of the sun for this scenario

>>16828971 (OP)
they have the epstein files and have threatened to release them.

Sweet. Straight up the stairs and turn right after the door. The path will curve away from the coast at first, but once it flattens out and opens up, you'll see.

Transmitting on all frequencies.
Still no response from the probe.

>>16828971 (OP)
what if 3I/atlas is a comet in reverse and the aliens are riding it back in time to travel through the universe?

what if that's the easiest way to circumnavigate the galaxy?

by hopping on something you already know came from somewhere?

then just rewinding it like you rewind a vhs?

This can be done theoretically by an advanced enough civilisation right?

>>16829181
>choosing a subject 99% of people don't care about instead of choosing celeb drama or race war 2025

>>16830770
my theory is it's like voyager, a message in a bottle floating through the abyss. we ain't gonna find anything till someone goes up to one of them and scrawls a cock and balls on it for someone else to find. maybe that's the only way to communicate with other civilisations. throwing something into space and letting whoever finds it spread the message.

>>16828971 (OP)
is there any credible source to follow 3I/Atlas updates?

The internet is filled with conspiracy and AI slop

Is this really the third interstellar object we’ve come across? Did we just now find the means to determine if something is from outside our solar system?

Otherwise it’s 100% aliens.

>>16830858
nah. basically its a bunch of people trying to get their 15 minutes by making a relatively safe low risk gamble:

>normies only have memory of past 3 months at most
>make outrageous but totally harmless benign claim about ayyy lmaos spaceship
either:
>youre wrong
>everyone forgets and stops caring in three months so it doesnt matter that you were wrong
or:
>youre right

>>16830865
>Is this really the third interstellar object we’ve come across?

Yes. Speed alone can determine if it's interstellar or not.

To be fair to Loeb, he himself admits he is a fraud. Just a fraud skating on the UFO fake hype attracting rich retards to invest in his dpt. I think he is a good fella, trying to promote freedom of thinking. If a kid wants to study the universe because he wants to find cool aliens, it's a win win.

Has 3i/Atlas emerged from behind the sun yet?

Told ya about this years ago.

From the latest Loebpost.
>Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is graciously helping to get the HiRISE images of 3I/ATLAS from October 2, 2025 released to the scientific community.
This is the only thing interesting me, really. I was firmly in the fucking have patience club, saying we won't see anything from HiRISE quickly. Give it a week. But as week turned to weeks, it made me think. It forced me to consider.

>>16830858
Yeah, Fraser Cain is good. He gives you the facts and covers alternative (speculative) points of view with the same level of matter of factness and nonsensationalism. This is how science and/or science communication is done, when it's done well.

Anyone have any idea why its magnitude(v) is dimmer on the day of perihelion than it was earlier this month?

>>16830900
No.
Its currently at its perihelion with our sun.
This is the point at which the comet is at its least detectable.
3i/Atlas should be fully visible again on November 11th.

>>16830858
Something I've noticed about conspiracy slop channels.
Aside from the AI genned images, AI narrator, and the general lack of credibility and coherency, they have an atrocious habit of reiterating points in gross excess.
Oftentimes, a video that could express its pertinent points in 3-5 minutes is torturously padded out to 20-30 using this method.

>>16829773
from releasing information related to the Epstein Affair (the mossad plot to control the US government through blackmail)

>>16830106
To be fair, there was that one episode with Bruce Campbell and its premise was never retracted.

>>16828971 (OP)
It's a rock.

>>16831088
Can't agree more. The government shutdown seems like a flimsy excuse. There are certainly still people working at NASA that can forward a fucking image file to the media.

>>16831451
Actually upon further reading it turns out that HiRISE is operated by the University of Arizona.

The goverment shutdown excuse makes even less sense now.

>>16830887
That’s incredibly retarded. Surely there are other, countless interstellar objects that we’ve missed before this point?

If there’s only been three PERIOD then it is a lot suspect. Why now? Is something bigger headed our way?

>>16832013
>that we’ve missed
Use your brain.

>>16832013
the first 2 were just tracer rounds for 3i atlas

>>16828971 (OP)
What's a good place to monitor updates on 3I that's not some conspiracy theory/Loeb shit? Other than Anton and Becky, I guess. Weren't Mars orbiters and/or solar observatories supposed to track it while it's behind the Sun?

>>16832032
Using my brain is assuming we’re only numbering the ones we’ve encountered.

>>16832391
Hard to number something you don't know about.

Status is as follows

>>16832013
>That’s incredibly retarded
Why? If an object has an escape velocity high enough to be free of any object in our solar system it's almost certainly of interstellar origin.

>Surely there are other, countless interstellar objects that we’ve missed before this point?

Of course. It's not a coincidence that we find more at the exact time we launch more instruments to detect them. Germs existed before we could see them through microscopes.

/x/ tards are loosing their collective shit over this piece of rock it's so funny

>>16832272
It's a self contradictory question. It's a space rock, what updates could you possibly get from or about it? The fact that you desire updates basically automatically puts you in the schizo tier of websites since only schizos come up with updates about it. I'm sure that due to the relative noteworthiness of the event most reputable space science organizations will have updates about it as more data arrives but it will all boring stuff (to you).

>Weren't Mars orbiters and/or solar observatories supposed to track it while it's behind the Sun?
Yes it was captured by Mars orbiters. Here's the images of that
https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/ESA_s_ExoMars_and_Mars_Express_observe_comet_3I_ATLAS

>>16832533
It's a shame it won't crash on Mars.
That would be a gigantic opportunity.

>>16832518
How much acceleration are we talking about though? Outgassing and radiation pressure is expected as it nears the sun.

>>16832526
Why are you being obtuse? You know what he’s getting at. The irony is that there there’s more than three. We’ve only been able to determine three. That’s the difference.

>>16832668
No substantial outgassing has been observed yet.

>not considering anything other than spacerock is considered scientific
>considering all possibilies including spaceship is considered wack
TIL trying to debunk ones own theories isn't scientific anymore

>>16832726
>is considered wack
By whom?

I havent paid too much attention.
Is anyone rushing to launch an interceptor probe and why not?

>>16832731
To what end?

>>16832733
get some close up, high res pics

>>16832796
He just regurgitates papers with little own commentary.

>>16832808
just an example, this thread is also full of "it's a rock" posts. Which sounds to me like dichotomous thinking. I can understand not wanting to be lumped in with the schizo croud that sees ufo's everywhere but as I understand It this Avi Loeb fella doesn't say "this is a spacecraft" but most seem to like to pretend that he does when he's just pointing out there's a possibility which shouldn't be ruled out.
He seems more nuanced that most when talking about it.
So are these 9 "anomalies" utter bs and where can I find them being debunked? or does he have an actual point.

>>16832826
Loeb listed the anomalies few times, they all come with relevant publication.

Though he coauthored most of these, so take it as you will.

>>16832738
I'd love some of those but because of the trajectory you're not gonna get many good images until it's real close
>>16832826
>>16832846
it's a rock

>>16832860
It's definitely a rock, but it could be something more than just a rock. Chance of it are slim to none, but it's fun to engage with fiction of scientific nature.

>>16832862
sounds like you agree with mr Loeb

>>16832866
Ehh that's a reach. I listed all the papers above, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to dispute them.
>We present the first polarimetric observations of the third discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), obtained pre-perihelion with FORS2/VLT, ALFOSC/NOT, and FoReRo2/RCC, over a phase angle range of 7.7−22.4◦. This marks the second ever polarimetric study of an interstellar object, the first distinguishing 2I/Borisov from most Solar System comets by its higher positive polarisation.
Yeah, sure.

>>16832878
>It's definitely a rock, but it could be something more than just a rock
look, I'm retarded, but you just contradicted yourself in one sentence.
I'm in the camp of the second part of your sentence and trying to find some answers from people less retarded than me.
possible additions to your list:
> it's bluer than the sun
> it's changed trajectory
again, I'm retarded and not sure of the validity of these or theit importance
but at least I'm not so retarded as to say "it's a rock"

>>16832882
>look, I'm retarded, but you just contradicted yourself in one sentence.
Not just a rock. A rock, and maybe something else.

>>16832899
In my retarded comprehending "A rock" would imply there being nothing else. But I'm not interested in debating semantics, on a basic level I think we agree.

uhh...

You must be stupid to believe is something else.

>>16832533
>It's a space rock, what updates could you possibly get from or about it?
Still it's not just any space rock, it's an interstellar space rock. As for updates, I'd like to see new, better pictures. But, I guess, the instruments that are left aren't exactly designed for that.

Is it still following its expected trajectory?
No anomalies?

This is anti-semitic. The ADL does not do this.

>>16828971 (OP)
really fucking sus. it's been confirmed it manifested the exact same non-gravitational acceleration at perihelion than oumuamua.

can any of you debunk this redditor's claims?

>just a weird comet
Comets on open (interstellar) orbits aren't even weird.

>>16833562
>offgassing like crazy apparently
Not surprising as this is the closest to any star it has probably been since it was created.

>>16833793
Yes but this one is rather anomalous.

>>16833562
Right, so now that the comet hasn't used the sun's gravity to perform a dramatic course correction, UFO enthusiasts will surely admit they were mistaken and stop screeching about it?

>>16833925
first thing first
>>16833022

Didn't we already go through this with Oumuamua?

>>16833955
I suppose we're going to have to put up with this frenzy of retarded speculation every couple years now that we have sensors sensitive to pick out interstellar objects.
Yay...

I don't care if it's a rock or a giant alien dick. i think its neat and wanna learn about it, it shouldnt be so hard to do

>>16833925
look, I have no truck with (((Avi)))'s idea, except to say that yes, it is a very unusual object and should be studied as much as possible
I find it criminal that nobody was even seriously considering a mission to Omuamua, I find it incredible that after Borisov there is still no interest in actually going to one of these things to take a closer look
maybe NASA are waiting for one that is as dry and rocky as possible? they love dust and rocks over there

>>16834026

You are you fucking dumb as fuck. Gonna let your family starve because you're "distracted" by an asteroid. Hey when you hit that fire hydrant on the way to work just tell them you were distracted by some bullshit you saw on the news. Lmao fuck off idiot.

if he got banned by reddit mods for that post it's all the proof i need that he's correct

Who are you quoting?

>>16835227
>Bluer (hotter) than the sun
Has this been observed in prior comets?
If not, what could this signify?

>0.02mm/sec^2
How significant is this rate of acceleration relative to the object's speed?

THE ALIEN CRAFT WILL SEND OUT SIGNALS TO EARTH TO TELL US TO MAKE WORLD PEACE. ALIENS WANT TOO ENSURE THEIR ARE NO NUKES IN EARTH!!! THEY COME IN PEACE!!!!
DO NOT RESIST THEM!!

They would eventually proceed to annihilate goyim planets because the whole galaxy was promised to them or some shit (probably there's a mention of milky something in their book)

>>16833674
I'm just a secondary, but this argument relies on the measurement of 11 minutes early having a low error & being accurate, but no error margins are quoted, so it's hard to put confidence in these deductions.
