3 i Atlas

[Quantum12]

If its true what they say about 3I/Atlas we could be looking at a big shift coming up. 

What with the anomalous 'jets' and 'luminosity' that is being observed by so many, I think its pretty clear these events require careful consideration by serious scientific people. Only time will tell what these unprecedented events will reveal.

Yes, we will have to wait and see. This could be an exciting time in the world.

We have way less info now!

Actually yes. What we have is out of date compared to when it was fresh. Much like the weather, do you go by a forcast from last month to plan what you are doing tomorrow?

‘Sharpen’ to NASA means photoshopped. Is this thing still on the same path as it was perihelion? 

I mean, should we be surprised that we had more information about this object 2 months ago, than we do now…..

I watch Stefan Burns, Geophysicist, because of his interest in all things Sun and our solar system, and he was comparing NASA pics from the billion dollar equipment available in our solar system (to be fair that equipment has specific uses - not for comets, obviously) and even he said the equipment used by astronomers (we are talking hundreds maybe a few thousand dollars) resulted in better pics.

Why isn't there comet/asteroid/meteor specific equipment out there? It boggles the mind.

I did not watch it yet. Thanks for the update.

Damn, too late to warn you not to bother watching it - nothingburger.

Avi Loeb reacts to NASA’s 3I/ATLAS image reveal

Avi Loeb expressed disappointment with NASA’s recent press conference, saying the released images of 3I/ATLAS were blurry and failed to provide any meaningful new insights.

He pointed to several anomalies that make the object unusually intriguing, including its unprecedented size relative to previously detected interstellar visitors and its strikingly high nickel-to-iron ratio.

Loeb also found it surprising that NASA administrators chose not to address these exceptionally rare characteristics in their public statements.

Thank you for posting this. Some guy with a $1000 telescope got better photos than NASA! Come on just tell us the truth! We can handle it!

Thanks NASA!

I just hope it's not exciting in the way that the Incas met the Spanish.

We will have to wait till Dec, 19 to get the best photos as 3I/Atlas will be closest to earth?

Will our questions ever be answered? 

1. What is 3I/Atlas?
2. Why did we not detect this massive thing sooner? It’s massive! The size of Manhattan.
3. What is it made of? Do humans really know every metal in the Universe? Nope.
4. Is it possible that other solar systems  have different compositions than we do?
5. How about let’s stretch it, what are other galaxy’s made of?

1. What is 3I/Atlas?

A big dirty ball of ice.

2. Why did we not detect this massive thing sooner? It’s massive! The size of Manhattan.

Manhattan is huge in astronomical terms? LOL.

But we did detect it, even though it was off the plane of the Solar System, and was a long-long way out into space. In fact, it proves how capable the ATLAS system is, that it can detect stuff well before anything else can.

And the closest 3iATLAS will get to the Earth, will still be further away than the Sun.

3. What is it made of? Do humans really know every metal in the Universe? Nope.

We know of 95 metallic elements in the periodic table. Some of the known metals are unstable and vanish immediately after being created. Also, the definition of what is, and what isn't a metal, gets fuzzy.

But 3iATLAS looks to be carbon dioxide (dry ice), water ice, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and carbonyl sulfide with a light dusting of atomic iron and nickel - its coma (tail) has carbon dioxide, cyanide, water vapour, and atomic nickel in it, like most other comets do.

4. Is it possible that other solar systems  have different compositions than we do?

Yes. It is actually likely that they are have different compositions, but probably they have the same atoms.

According to theory, most matter exists because of stellar and black-hole nucleosynthesis. We can actually get chemical assays of stars from their electromagnetic spectra of emission and absorption.

5. How about let’s stretch it, what are other galaxy’s made of?

Other galaxy matter.

But mostly, unobtainium.

Wow, you answered allllll my questions! Thank you!
