The Hubble Space telescope
has now had three days
to look at 3I/Atlas
and to date?
No evidence of any of:
"the spectral fingerprints
of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
Friday, July 18, 2025
Cornell University arxiv.org 07/16/25
"JWST
and Hubble
would be best suited
for the task of picking apart
the different species of molecules
that might erupt
from 3I/ATLAS."
So whats the hold up?
There is not gonna be any:
"spectral fingerprints
of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
Because whoever it was
and however they deduced
3I/Atlas to be an asteroid?
Were correct.

"News of the extrasolar entity, initially dubbed A11pl3Z, broke on Tuesday (July 1), when NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) both listed it as a confirmed object."
On Wednesday (July 2), NASA...revealed that it is most likely a comet, upending previous assumptions that it was an asteroid. The object's full comet name is C/2025 N1 (ATLAS).
("upending previous assumptions"
By Who?
Where when and how?
And where are they now
that we need them to step up?
With all of that behind us?
Lets take a look at:
Apparently Vera Rubin Captured Images Of 3I/ATLAS
Before It Was Even Discovered
Universetoday 07/22/25
"Sometimes serendipity happens in science. Whether it’s an apple falling from a tree or a melting chocolate bar, some of the world’s greatest discoveries come from happy accidents, even if their stories may be apocryphal.
Somebody Queue up the Bishop:
Paraphrasing:
"Christians don't believe in luck
or chance or an accident.
Everything serves a purpose,
even if we don't see it,
or know or understand
what it may be."
"According to a new paper on arXiv, there’s a new story to add to the archives of serendipitous scientific discoveries - Rubin happened to make observations of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS before its official discovery, while the telescope was still in its Science Validation survey, marking the earliest, high resolution images we will likely get of the comet at that time.
Go back and read the intro,
"First things first"
and it is quite obvious someone/team etc
had to have made:
"observations of interstellar object
3I/ATLAS before its official discovery"
Otherwise?
How could there have been
"previous assumptions
that it was an asteroid"
before it was confirmed
to be an interstellar visitor
by NASA and the AIU?
WHERE EXACTLY IS THIS DIFFICULT
TO PIECE TOGETHER?)
"According to the paper, Rubin just happened to be pointing at the part of the sky where 3I/ATLAS was located during its Science Validation (SV) phase. It unknowingly took pictures of the object between June 21st (10 days before it was officially discovered) and July 7th. June 21st was even a few days before the telescope officially released its “First Look” images to the public back on June 23rd."
(And that is about the biggest bunch of trying to cover your tracks horsehit you are ever gonna come across, point blank. I'll put it to ya real simple like I was talking to my friends at the Mexican restaurant:
"THERE AINT NO FUCKIN WAY!"
Now I am going to explain how I know so.
Vera C Rubin Observatory reveals 1st stunning images of the cosmos.
Scientists are 'beyond excited about what's coming'
Space.com June 23, 2025
"Just one image from the LSSTCam covers an area
equivalent to the size of 45 full moons in the sky."
"(LSSTCam), the largest digital camera ever constructed
at around the size of a small car."
The full moon covers .00077% of the entire night sky
(Thats both Northern and southern hemispheres BTW)
Times that by 45
(The area of the night sky that LSSTCam covers
and we get .03456 coverage of the night sky.
So if it was just randomly pointed at the night sky
as suggested by the paper that this article is referencing?
It would have a 3% chance of finding 3I/Atlas.
That means it would have a 97% chance of not finding it.
For every 100 times of randomly pointing the LSSTCam
at the night sky?
It should find 3I/Atlas 3 times.
Thats not what happened.
It found 3I/Atlas
"while the telescope was still in its Science Validation survey"
and we know for a fact:
"previous assumptions
that it was an asteroid"
were upended.
The "previous assumptions" having to have taken place
prior to NASA and IAU confirming the object
but the LSSTCam just happened to find it?
Right out of the box?
"while the telescope was still in its Science Validation survey"
??????????
What are the odds
of those two things
happening by coincidence?
Like my dad used to say:
"I may have been born at night
but it wasnt last night.)
"These observations are important because they are the earliest ones done by a high power telescope. Rubin’s 8.4m Simoyi Survey Telescope and 3.2-gigapixel Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) combined to capture the highest resolution images of the comet released to date. Since the images were captured before full commissioning, the data they represented had to be run through customer data pipelines rather than the standard automated ones that will handle the terabytes of data normally created by Rubin every night."
And that would be my guess
about are where our:
"previous assumptions"
about 3I/Atlas being an asteroid
and not a comet came from...
but they knew where to point the
high powered telescope.
You just are not going to get something right out of the box with something that hasnt been fully set up, and would only have a 1 in 33.3 chance of doing so, even when it was.
If that was the case?
Whoever decided where to point the thing
should go live in Vegas.)
"Nineteen of the images were captured during intentional SV operations."
(Scientific validation)
"Those images show a comet that largely behaved as expected. They provided the highest resolution proof that 3I/ATLAS is, in fact a comet, and shows cometary behavior, like a coma of gas and dust surrounding it..."
(Just because it acts like a comet
doesnt mean it is one.
Avi Loeb:
"While 3I/ATLAS may well be a comet,
this elongation should not be taken
as evidence for its cometary tail.
So far, spectroscopic data on 3I/ATLAS...
do not reveal the spectral features
of cometary gas but only show reddening
of reflected sunlight,
consistent with a compact dust cloud
or the surface of a solid object."
And?
why were
"previous assumptions"
about it being
an asteroid prior to confirmation
"upended"?)
"The apparent size of its coma grew about 58% over the observational period as it continued to approach the Sun."
Hubble has now had
three days to look at it.
And still no:
"spectral fingerprints
of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
"Interestingly, it had a sunward pointing tail. According to the paper this can be explained by “anisotropic dust emission”, and has been observed in other comets, though it is relatively rare. Several explanations are offered, including slow ejection of large particles that aren’t pushed back as quickly by the Sun’s radiation pressure or a rotational axis that nearly aligns with its orbital plane."
(Why didnt we hear about that until two days ago?)
"Rubin will lose sight of its slightly beforehand, on August 22nd, when it will move out of the telescope's surveyed area of the sky. Between the final image presented in the paper and that time, the authors expect at least 100 more images of the comet to be captured, many of which will likely be high quality than the earlier sets when the telescope operators didn’t know they had such a valuable and rare object in their field of view."
They had a 1 in 33.3 chance of finding it randomly
they did so before completing scientific validation
and
prior to confirmation by NASA and IAU
it was considered an asteroid
by some unknown team/persons etc
whose assumptions were
"upended."
It has a duct cloud similar to class D asteroids
which closely resemble Mars moon Phobos
and :
1. The retrograde orbital plane (defined by the orbital angular momentum vector) of 3I/ATLAS around the Sun lies within 5 degrees of that of Earth — the so-called ecliptic plane. The likelihood for that coincidence out of all random orientations is 0.2%.
For its orbital parameters, 3I/ATLAS is synchronized to approach unusually close to Venus (0.65au where 1au is the Earth-Sun separation), Mars (0.19au) and Jupiter (0.36au), with a cumulative probability of 0.005% relative to orbits with the same orbital parameters but a random arrival time.
I just don't see where it gets difficult
to put 2 and 2 together.
It was designed by God.
Whatever it is supposed to do?
IT MOST ASSUREDLY
will do.
"More yet!" lol...
In Its First Year, Rubin Observatory Will Gather More Space Data
Jalopnik 07/18/25
"Every year, all telescopes on Earth and in space combined discover around 20,000 new asteroids. In just its first ten hours of activity, a single new observatory discovered 2,104 asteroids, or in other words, it did 10% of the entire astronomical community's annual job in less than half a day. Yeah, the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, is pretty cool."
"In development since the 1990s, the Rubin Observatory is a joint operation between the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and NSF NOIRLab. Nestled in the mountains of Chile far from any light pollution, it houses the Simonyi Survey Telescope, which has three mirrors, two of which are actually combined together on a single substrate for a width of 8.4 meters."
"This is all to get the light of the cosmos to the camera, which has three lenses, the largest being 1.6 meters wide. That makes for the single largest digital camera ever built, about the size of a car and weighing 6,000 pounds. An iPhone Pro has a 48-megapixel camera, Rubin's is 3,200."
"Its ten-year mission is called the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), so no shortage of ambition, then. In that time, the observatory is hoping to gather data about the universe. A lot of data. As in, about 20 terabytes per night, ending up somewhere in the neighborhood of about 500 petabytes, or more data than humanity has ever written down, in any language, anywhere, ever. The hope is that by the end of its first year of operation, it will have gathered more space data than all other optical observatories, ever, combined. Feeling small yet?"
(My God died for me so you can throw:
"Feeling small yet?"
Right out the window.)
"So, you've got the best camera of all time. What should you do with it? The LSST plans to take a thousand pictures of the Southern sky every night, mapping the full thing about every three to four days. That will eventually give science the greatest time-lapse night photography ever done, at a level of detail that defies belief. For instance, in all of history humanity has discovered around one million asteroids and comets, and it took every single astronomer looking through every single telescope to do that. By the end of its ten-year LSST mission, the hope is that Rubin will have found a further four million."
(So they knew they had all of that
coming on line so to speak
but they didn't know where to point it
to find out about 3I/Atlas?
It was an "accident" we are led to believe?
)
"But Rubin's got much bigger plans than finding a couple of orbiting space rocks. One of its major goals is to explore the nature of dark matter and dark energy, strange phenomena that make up over 95% of the universe even though we can barely detect them. The main way we even know dark energy exists is because galaxies appear to be accelerating away from one another, which can't otherwise be explained."
(If space is expanding?
And it is,
and the book said so
1000's of years before
we knew so scientifically:
Isaiah 42:5 – “This is what God the LORD says—the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out . . .”
Isaiah 44:24 – “ . . . I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens . . .”
Isaiah 45:12 – “My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.”
Jeremiah 10:12 – “God . . . stretched out the heavens by his understanding.”
Jeremiah 51:15 – “He founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.”
Then how do the galaxies hold together
and not spread apart in expanding space?
According to scientist,
Dark energy holds them together
while dark matter makes the cosmos expand.)
"As acting director of DOE's Office of Science Harriet Kung said, "NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory reflects what's possible when the federal government backs world-class engineers and scientists with the tools to lead." That's true! Sounds like the federal government should actually do some of that, instead of, you know, slashing science budgets left and right."
Space.com 6/23/25
"With this 8-meter class telescope capable of continuously mapping the southern sky every three days, we enter the era of 'astro-cinematography', exploring a new dimension: that of time, with which we expect to study the cosmos with a new perspective, which is now possible thanks also to the use of new information technologies to process a mass of data that would otherwise be inscrutable."
"If it moves, Rubin will see it
One of the most impressive abilities of Rubin will be its capability to study objects that change in brightness over time as it builds the "greatest movie of all time." This unique power comes from the fact that Rubin can scan the sky at superfast speeds, around 10 to 100 times faster than similar large telescopes."
"Rubin will also be able to observe millions of massive stars as they end their lives and undergo supernova explosions. The groundbreaking observatory will also investigate so-called "type Ia supernovas," triggered when dead star-white dwarfs undergo runaway nuclear explosions after overfeeding on stellar companions."
"Type Ia supernovas are also known as "standard candles" due to the fact that their consistent luminosities allow astronomers to use them to measure cosmic distances. Thus, Rubin will also make an indirect impact on astronomy by providing scientists with a wealth of new and better-understood distances between objects in the universe."
"Rubin will produce a true multi-colored movie of the sky, lasting an entire decade. A movie that will allow us to see the universe as never before: not just through static images, but in dynamic evolution."
"Bonito added that the astrophysics that can be done with Rubin is extremely diversified: a single observation campaign will allow us to respond to very broad scientific themes, which concern our galaxy but also dark matter, our solar system,
and even the most unpredictable phenomena
that occur in the sky."
( Sara (Rosaria) Bonito of the Board of Directors of the LSST Discovery Alliance of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

Prophetic much?
Now what's the odds?
That it was randomly pointed
into the night sky
and caught 3I/ATLAS
Hum?
And the images provided are just unbelievable
but are best viewed on a laptop or a PC.
The heavens declare the glory of God indeed.
Psalm 19
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
