1) Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS transforms
Live science 07/17/25
Just wanted to share the picture more than anything.
Pretty cool.
"A new timelapse photo transforms 3I/ATLAS into a giant "cosmic rainbow."

"The newly discovered "interstellar visitor" 3I/ATLAS can be seen shining like a rainbow-colored string of cosmic pearls in a trippy new timelapse image captured by a telescope in Hawaii."
"...is most likely a large comet,
stretching up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) across."
(I read all kinds of estimates.
Anywhere from 2 km to 24.
The only person who has shared
the formula by which he has deduced
how big he thinks this thing is?
Avi Loeb
Is 3I/ATLAS a Comet or Something Else?
(So until others share how they arrived at their conclusions?
And Remember now a Scientist in the Scientific American article
said 2 km across and gave no paper written, no formula used etc.

3I/ATLAS, (obviously a continuing series, Scientific American, etc...)
7 Big Mysteries about Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
"Initial estimates suggested 3I/ATLAS might be up 20 kilometers (12 miles) across—very big for a comet—but most astronomers now think it is much smaller. “It’s probably somewhere in the range of one or two kilometers,” says John Noonan at Auburn University in Alabama."
(I get that it is a fluid situation and somethings we just wont know till it gets closer but what is: "most astronomers now think it is much smaller. “It’s probably somewhere in the range of one or two kilometers,” says John Noonan" based on?
And who are the "most astronomers" and what evidence did they present to reach the conclusion: now think it is much smaller. “It’s probably somewhere in the range of one or two kilometers?" Because no evidence is offered here, just opinions.)
Im gonna go with Avis' size estimation
till proven otherwise.
Also?)
"Astronomers at the Gemini North telescope, located on the summit of Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano, have been closely watching 3I/ATLAS since its discovery. And on Tuesday (July 15), they released several stunning images, including a close-up shot of the comet's coma — the cloud of ice, gas and dust that surrounds a comet's icy shell — and a technicolor timelapse photo of the interloper moving through space."
"It comes as no surprise that what we perceive as the observable Universe is limited by the sensitivity of our instruments. It is indeed the case that 95% of the cosmic mass budget is unknown."
3) Gemini North Sees Brightening

(Says the writer of the piece:
David Dickinson is a freelance science writer
and long-time sky watcher.
As compared to Harvards Avi Loeb
Loeb is the Frank B. Baird Jr.
Professor of Science at Harvard University,
where since 2007 he has been
Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation
at the Center for Astrophysics.)
who stated:
"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 (published here, here and here) 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."
I know which one
I am going with.)
"3I/ATLAS also seems to be a very red object,..."
"Current size estimates for the nucleus span a range from just under a kilometer to over 20 kilometers across—definitely larger than the other two known interstellar objects: 1I/’Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov."
(Only one of those size estimates I have seen
gives you the means by which the conclusion was reached:
Is 3I/ATLAS a Comet or Something Else?
Avi Loeb 7/08/25
"The ‘red’ color
is due
(No "might be"?,
no "probably"?
"IS DUE")
to organic compounds on the surface
for solar system comets.”
astronomer Karen Meech
(University of Hawai’i Institute for Astronomy)
(Newsflash:
This isnt from our Solar System.
Hillbilly translation:
"This object from over there
has to be like what we see here."
Fact is, it doesnt
HAVE to be.)
"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."
Im telling ya
they are trying to make this object
fit their preconceived orthodoxy
and turn it into something
it just isnt.)
"Currently just under 4 Astronomical Units (AU) from the Sun, 3I/ATLAS will pass perihelion 1.356 AU from the Sun on October 29th."
(Remember that.)
"The comet skims our ecliptic like a stone skipping water, and seems to be the first ever denizen of the thick galactic disk seen up close."
“At the moment, with what we know about 3I/ATLAS it is not an unusual comet,” astronomer “Rosemary Dorsey (University of Helsinki) told Universe Today.'
(Either she is practicing
for her stand up routine
or somebody should take away
her crack pipe,
because this thing
has more anomalies
than you can shake a stick at.
Preliminary Anomalies of 3I/ATLAS)
"3I is larger than an average comet, but it is not usually large—one of the largest comets, C/2014 UN271, has been measured with a diameter of ~100 kilometers!
(Love how she failed to point out that comet she referenced is from our own solar system
and 3I is not, and that comet wont pass through the inner Solar system and 3I will,
and 3I "seems to be the first ever denizen of the thick galactic disk seen up close".
She is comparing apples and oranges,
jumping units of analysis as it were.
"3I/ATLAS it is not an unusual comet"
Yeah, right,
then why is she the only one saying that?)
"It is also common for comets to have very low activity at the current distance of 3I, as the activity of most comets is due to water ice sublimating near 3-4 AU from the Sun. We are still waiting to see how 3I will react when it reaches this distance
to better put it into context
with our solar system comets.”
(Again, she is comparing apples and oranges!
And Earlier in the article:
3I is
"Currently just under 4
Astronomical Units (AU) from the Sun"
I know I dont have a PHD or anything
but the last time I checked
"just under 4" (AU)
is still in-between "3-4". (AU)
)"We are still waiting to see how 3I will react
when it reaches this distance"
(Hubble took pictures of it yesterday
7/22/25
and ran spectroscopy,
more on that coming up.)
3) Hubble spots interstellar invader
Comet 3I/ATLAS for the first time
Space.com 07/21/25
"One such paper is already available, albeit as a preprint. Describing optical and near-infrared spectroscopy performed on 3I/ATLAS, the research reveals that: "3I/ATLAS is an active interstellar comet containing abundant water ice,
with a dust composition
more similar to
than to ultrared trans-Neptunian objects."
(Well lets take a look at:
D-type asteroids then
since:
"previous assumptions
that it was an asteroid"
??????????
And how could they have
assumed such?
If it was found only
24 hrs previous?
See the dilemma here?
Or are you:
7/22/25
(We will get to it in a post coming up.
It's a problem for what
NASA and a whole lot of others
are saying:
NASA Website
Discovery
"The NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first reported observations to the Minor Planet Center of comet 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025. Since the first report, observations made before the discovery were gathered from the archives of three different ATLAS telescopes around the world and Caltech’s Zwicky Transient Facility at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. These “pre-discovery” observations extend back to June 14.
The Vera Rubin Observatory can not have been one of those three different ATLAS telescopes as it wouldn't have archives yet:
"The very first photons resolved by the complete instrument had been detected on 15 April 2025, appearing as rings before the instrument was adjusted to focus them as dots.[31] Images from the first light of the full telescope and camera combination were released on 23 June 2025.
Anyways :-).
back to D type asteriods:
("D-type asteroids have a very low albedo ("a measure of the percentage of sunlight that a surface reflects away" our guy is bright, Opps.) and a featureless reddish spectrum. It has been suggested that they have a composition of organic-rich silicates, carbon and anhydrous silicates, possibly with water ice in their interiors.[2] D-type asteroids are found in the outer asteroid belt and beyond; examples are 152 Atala, (65 KM +/-8 KM) 944 Hidalgo (52 KM) and most Jupiter trojans. It has been suggested that the Tagish Lake meteorite was a fragment from a D-type asteroid,
and that the Martian moon Phobos
is closely related."
(Well that is certainly is interesting
about Mars moon Phobos.
So they will tell you 3I's dust
is similar to type D asteroids
but then not tell you
how big type D asteroids are
or the fact that the Martian moon Phobos
is closely related?
And after having read 38 articles
(I went back and counted
on phone and laptop)
nobody as of yet
has mentioned anything about:
Explains How Mars Got Its Moons
By Brian Koberlein -
November 22, 2024
"If an asteroid passed close enough to Mars,
the tidal forces of the planet
would rip the asteroid apart
to create a string of fragments."
And yet somehow we had:
"previous assumptions"
about 3I being an asteroid?
Prior to July 1st?
And then the day after it is confirmed by
NASA and the International Astronomical Unionto be an interstellar visitor:
"On Wednesday (July 2), NASA...revealed that
it is most likely a comet,
upending previous assumptions
that it was an asteroid"
Well I wonder why?
And nobody can figure this out?
Nobody knows anything
about which I am speaking?
Explains How Mars Got Its Moons
By Brian Koberlein -
November 22, 2024
"This new model proposes an interesting middle way. Rather than an impact or direct capture, the authors propose a near miss by a large asteroid. If an asteroid passed close enough to Mars, the tidal forces of the planet would rip the asteroid apart to create a string of fragments."
Why is nobody talking about that possibility?
Nobody?
Not even Avi.
Just crickets...Why?

They are simply massive pieces of space rock.)
"D-type asteroids are space rocks packed with organic molecule-rich silicates and carbon with water ice in their interiors."
(The author left out: "possibly"
"possibly with water ice in their interiors"
Think that was an accident?
It is the subtle built in biases
that give this shit away.
It really does.)
"One project that will be trying to get a good look at 3I/ATLAS is the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which observes the universe near and far with the largest digital camera ever built. That is fitting, as the comet from beyond the solar system was actually first spotted as scientists were preparing to make observations with Rubin."
(Thats kinda interesting
because its not what NASA says:
"Discovery
The NASA-funded ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first reported observations to the Minor Planet Center of comet 3I/ATLAS on July 1, 2025. Since the first report, observations made before the discovery were gathered from the archives of three different ATLAS telescopes around the world and Caltech’s Zwicky Transient Facility at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. These “pre-discovery” observations extend back to June 14."
And?
The Rubin Observatory is supposedly
still coming on line, being calibrated etc.
"Site construction began in April 2015 with the ceremonial laying of the first stone. The first on-sky observations with the engineering camera occurred in October 2024, while system first light images were released 23 June 2025. Full survey operations are planned to begin later in 2025, due to COVID-related schedule delays. Data is scheduled to become fully public after two years."
(So where did the author Robert Lea
get that information
"the comet from beyond the solar system was actually first spotted as scientists were preparing to make observations with Rubin"
from?
And remember according to livescience:
So obviously
some must have had assumptions
about it being an asteroid
before it was confirmed
as an interstellar visitor
by NASA and the IAU.
Who are they?
Where are they?
And what are they saying now?
And why?)
4) Spectroscopic Characterization
Of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS:
7/22/25
"We present optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, obtained with Gemini-S/GMOS and NASA IRTF/SpeX on 2025 July 5 and July 14. The optical spectrum shows a red slope of approximately 10% per 1000 angstroms between 0.5 and 0.8 microns,
closely resembling
that of typical D-type asteroids."
"At longer wavelengths, the near-infrared spectrum flattens significantly to approximately 3% per 1000 angstroms from 0.9 to 1.5 microns, consistent with the spectral behavior of large water ice grains in the coma."
"The 1.5-micron water ice band, however, is not detected, likely due to the limited signal-to-noise of the IRTF data and dilution by refractory materials. The ~30% ice fraction should be interpreted as an approximate, order-of-magnitude estimate of the coma composition."
"Our observations reveal that 3I/ATLAS is an active interstellar comet containing abundant water ice, with a dust composition more similar to D-type asteroids than to ultrared trans-Neptunian objects."
(Until I see:
"the spectral fingerprints of gas emission
from various molecules, such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
Is 3I/ATLAS a Comet or Something Else?
I aint buying it.
Hubble took a picture yesterday,
so where are the
Spectroscopic results showing:
"the spectral fingerprints of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
??????????
And How long does it take to get em?
They wrote:

Seems like if there were any
"spectral fingerprints of gas emission

such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
we would have seen something
written about it.
We havent.
New interstellar object might be alien tech
CHRON 7/23/25
("an essential digital-first local news source serving more than 6 million unique readers a month in Houston and the surrounding region, including Galveston and the Gulf Coast.")
"Its path is so precise,
some scientists think it's no accident."
(The author is referencing the Avi Loeb piece
It aint just the scientist that think so,
not the being Alien Tech lol
but it's path being so precise,
it's no accident.
If you honestly think
this object
and the evil running rampant
in our world today
are not related to each other?
You are making a huge mistake.
Huge.)
"So far, 3I/ATLAS hasn't displayed clear signs of outgassing. It appears faintly fuzzy in telescope images, but that could be due to a natural coma or simply motion blur. Spaceweather.com reports that its spectral features may just be too dim to detect, though new images from Gemini North and Hubble show it is beginning to resemble a comet.
(#1 "Spaceweather.com reports
that its spectral features may just be too dim to detect,"
Me to honey shortly after
starting to write about 3I/Atlas:
"Wait till you see the horseshit they are just gonna make up about this thing not "out-gassing" like they think it should ."
Is Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Tech?
July 22, 2025
"Although most astronomers believe 3I/ATLAS is a comet, “no spectral features of cometary gas are found in spectroscopic observations of 3I/ATLAS,” notes Loeb. This is far from conclusive. For one thing, 3I/ATLAS is still very far away, and its spectral features may simply be too faint to observe."
(From previous articles above:
"Currently just under 4 Astronomical Units (AU) from the Sun, 3I/ATLAS will pass perihelion 1.356 AU from the Sun on October 29th."
"...the activity of most comets is due to water ice sublimating near 3-4 AU from the Sun"
"I know I dont have a PHD or anything
but the last time I checked
"just under 4"
is still in-between "3-4".
(AU that is)
"More importantly, new images from the Gemini North Telescope show 3I/ATLAS looking exactly like a comet with a normal gaseous envelope. Update: Hubble agrees."
(Not quite:
"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."
Like I said:
Holler at me when you find:
Spectroscopic results showing:
"the spectral fingerprints of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
It's close enough for Hubble
to be taking pictures
so where are the:

What you need to know about 3I?ATLAS.
I knew it was no good half way through the first article I ever read about it, I'll stand by that till proven wrong.
Right now?

"How does news "Break" about an interstellar visitor
before it is even confirmed by NASA and the IAU?
And who/and how many
was it
that had
"previous assumptions
that it was an asteroid"
and where are they
and how did they reach that conclusion
before the object was confirmed?
