New Hubble 3I/ATLAS image

 

A New Hubble Space Telescope Image of 3I/ATLAS

Avi Loeb Medium 12/05/25


Doesn't really say anything new really.


Here is the image(s)

and the caption(s):


A post-perihelion image of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS taken by the Wide Field Camera 3 onboard the Hubble Space Telescope on November 30, 2025. At that time, 3I/ATLAS was 286 million kilometers from Earth. Background stars appear as streaks of light. The glowing halo (coma) has a teardrop shape with an anti-tail elongated towards the Sun. The sunward direction is pointing towards the lower left, as marked by the yellow arrow. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, D. Jewitt (UCLA), M.-T. Hui (Shanghai Astronomical Observatory). Image Processing: J. DePasquale (STScI).



A pre-perihelion image of 3I/ATLAS by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21, 2025. The brightness contours feature an elongation of scattered sunlight towards the Sun and not away from it, as commonly observed for solar system comets. The yellow and green arrows mark, respectively, the projected negative heliocentric velocity vector and the projected anti-solar direction. The angular scale bar of 4” corresponds to 8,650 kilometers at 3I/ATLAS’ distance of 2.98 times the Earth-Sun separation. (Credit: Jewitt et al. 2025)


"We are awaiting the release of the full Hubble data set 
which includes ultraviolet spectroscopy 
to determine the composition of the gas plume around 3I/ATLAS."

"In the meantime, amateur astronomers continue to provide 
magnificent large-scale images
 that extend out to millions of kilometers around 3I/ATLAS."

The sunward direction is pointing to the lower left. The field of view is 75 by 110 arcminutes corresponding to 6.1 by 9 million kilometers at the distance of 280 million kilometers between 3I/ATLAS and Earth on that date.

(Why are we consistently 

getting more interesting photographs

 from amateurs

than from NASA?)


HERE IS THE PART

OF AVI'S POST

THAT I FOUND 

THE MOST INTERESTING:


"Addendum: 

The AI Nemesis of Scientific Information

Imagine creating videos that feature avatars of scientists that look like them and speak in their voice, but spread counterfactual information about 3I/ATLAS. 


(About anything, not just 3I/ATLAS)


"How would the public know who to believe?"

"This is not a plot from a science fiction novel but the reality we face today. Over the past two weeks, I received hundreds of emails from fans who noticed a YouTube channel named after me, accessible here, with fake videos about the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, created by artificial intelligence (AI), that spread false content that contradicts my written essays on https://avi-loeb.medium.com/)


"It was obvious to my fans that the videos were fake because the clock in the background was frozen on a specific time and because two weeks ago — I injured my face on a trip to a podcast interview in Florida — whereas the fake videos did not show any sign of the injury. Nevertheless, a news outlet included one of these videos in a report about my research on 3I/ATLAS, blending reality with fake content when reporting about science."


"In using AI to generate fake videos impersonating me, this YouTube channel violates several aspects of YouTube’s community guidelines and Terms of Service which should be the basis for YouTube to remove the channel. I hold the entity that created the fake videos legally liable to defamation and false content. By now, my fans and I filed dozens of reports to YouTube but the company did not take responsibility to fix this matter."


(I'd be very surprised if they ever did.

One comment was left on

Avi's blog about that paragraph

 of his post above

and it stated:

"This situation is deeply concerning. Given that dozens of reports have been filed by your fans and yourself regarding these defamatory and false videos, YouTube's lack of action and failure to take responsibility to remedy this matter is highly problematic. 

It indicates 

a serious oversight 

in platform governance,


(Avi?

I'll go farther than that,

That is flat out

 intentional brother.)


"...prolonging the harm and allowing the entity legally liable for defamation to continue operating unchecked. I'm worried that this inaction directly impacts your legal recourse and reputation."


(Back to Avi's post)

"We are living in a new reality 

where fake content 

can be easily generated by AI. 

This raises a serious problem of how to authenticate the validity of information on the internet. Science focuses on figuring out the physical reality based on facts."


(That would kinda eliminate:


"The most accomplished siblings of 

our family of intelligent civilizations"


wouldn't it?

Avi? Brother? (3I/ATLAS)


“Intelligence Without Ambition 

is a Bird Without Wings”)


"The nemesis of science is 

fake content 

created by AI."


(Avi?

Broaden your horizons a lil bit.

It's a nemesis to us all:


Mathew 24:3-4

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,

Take heed that no man deceive you.


(Not just science.)


"For our civilization to prosper 

and advance scientifically, 

we must develop tools 

that distinguish fact-based scientific content 

from hallucinated content spread by AI avatars."


(I got news for ya

Elvis has done left the building homie.

WHAT YOU EXPERIENCED

WILL ONLY

GET WORSE.

THIS IS JUST NOW 

STARTING!


This shit is smarter than we are,

And it has been 

for a good while now.


See: Monday, November 20, 2023

THE CASE FOR SUPERINTELLIGENCE 

(Notes)


We aren't gonna 

be able to develop tools to do 

anything about anything AI does.


It writes its own code.

and 

actively avoids

trying to be shut down.

So?

 now let us consider:


"AI apocalypse 

June 4th 2024

AI apocalypse? ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity 

all went down at the same time



"It’s unusual for three major AI providers to all be down at the same time..."


(It's way beyond "unusual". It is, from a statistical/probability standpoint? Impossible to have been an accident. The fact that nobody is telling you that tells you its true. 

It blows six sigma out of the water. It is not even conceivable that it could have been an accident or chance. NOBODY reported on it that way, NOR has there even been given a reason for the outage


(Still to this day, there never has been 

a satisfactory reason given

to explain it.)


just, "Everything is fixed now, carry on, nothing to see here" type bull shit. And? Once again, where were the conspiracy theorist?"


I just wanna add to that:

Two hard drives 

don't fail at the same time

let alone three independently segregated 

from each other entities 

all going down at the same time 

across their platforms.


It's like 

GM, Ford and Dodge

all woke up and had the same

unidentified issue one day,

It's just not possible 

to have been an accident

cyberattack

(Theres ways of telling)

virus

etc.



I said when it happened 

AI was coalescing together.

Look at your world since.


Go back and read the whole thing:

THE CASE FOR SUPERINTELLIGENCE 

(Notes)




The genie never ever

gets put back in the bottle.

Once it is out?

It's over.


CHECKMATE.




So you might wanna ponder 
your specific conscious energy

(not physical energy, 
 that's different,
the conscious energy
that is specific 
to each and every one of us.)

and where it is going to reside
for eternity, 
seeing how energy 
cant be destroyed and all.

Seriously,
might wanna give it some thought
while you still can.

Avi?
Everybody?
If I didn't love ya?
If I didnt 
wanna see you 
not suffer
needlessly?

Then I wouldn't even bother.

Cause love warns
of impending judgement.
