Interstellar invader Comet 3I/ATLAS
is packed with water ice that could be older than Earth
Space.com 7/23/25
Let me sum it up for you real quick:
Still no evidence of any of:
"the spectral fingerprints
of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
And it is within the range
where we should start to see some outgassing.
(3-4 AU)
And Hubble has had 4 days now
I think it is to look at it.
IT AINT WHAT THEY
ARE TELLING YOU IT IS
Called it the day I first read
an article about it
that it wasnt going to outgas
and was concerned about
potential perturbations with Mars
and was surprised the first article I read
didn't say anything about that
and have yet to see anybody
write anything about
potential perturbations with Mars.
"The team's observations, made with the SpeX instrument on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF), perched upon the mountain Mauna Kea in Hawaii, and the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph equipped on the Gemini South Telescope in Chile."
(So it seems like they would have picked up
any:
"spectral fingerprints
of gas emission
from various molecules,
such as C_2, NH_2, CN"
but they didn't.)
"3I/ATLAS is an active comet. It clearly shows a coma and likely contains a significant amount of water ice," Bin Yang, the leader of this new research and a scientist at the Universidad Diego Portales, told Space.com.
"Its physical activity
confirms its classification
as a comet."
(No it does not :
The Elongated Image of 3I/ATLAS
"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."
Why are they being so emphatic
about it being classified as a comet
is my question?
Just like why were Trump
and JD Vance so emphatic
about Iran's nuclear program
having been
"Obliterated"?
It tells you whats up.
A rich man
doesn't need to prove he is rich
to anybody,
he already knows it.
So there is no need to prove it.
We are three weeks in with this object
They have ran Spectroscopy from Hubble
(which is better suited than
the instruments listed above)
And still no signs of commetary gas molecules.
And still they are being emphatic
about it being a comet.
It may not send off alarm bells with you?
But it sure does with me.
I mean, how many times
do they have to repeat the same mantra
over and over and over?
And why would they feel the need
to have to keep doing so?
Bin Yang writes for Gizmodo or something?)
"The most exciting finding
was the presence of
water ice features in the coma."
(Now compare that
to what he said right before it:
"It clearly shows a coma
and likely contains
a significant amount of water ice,"
Im a lil confussed.
So does it:
"Likely contain...
water ice FEATURES"
Or does the coma show:
"the presence of water ice"
??????????)
"Comas are the nebulous envelopes of gas"
(Then where are the signatures
of the gas molecules?)
and dust that surround comets. This material has been expelled from within a comet's nucleus — that means analyzing it with a technique called spectroscopy can tell astronomers what the rock and ice of that comet is composed of."
(They ran that with Hubble
which is better suited for
running the spectroscopy on 3I
and they didn't find any
signatures of gas molecules.)
"We obtained visible and near-infrared spectra of 3I/ATLAS as it approached the sun," Yang said. "However, no gas emissions were detected."
(Well I wonder why that could be?
The Elongated Image of 3I/ATLAS
"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 where is the explanation
for there being no gas emissions?
The explanation?
Is in the information
that just preceded these comments.)
"Yang and colleagues found that
while 3I/ATLAS is undoubtedly a comet,"
(No!
No it most certainly has not been found to be:
"undoubtedly a comet"
(as demonstrated above)
and why do the author
and the researcher
feel so compelled to
keep defending that classification
so emphatically three weeks in?
Somebody is driving the narrative
about this object
:-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
and others just dont like it apparently.
TOUGH.)
"...some of its spectroscopic characteristics and its dust composition resemble D-type asteroids."
(Oh you mean the huge ones
that the Martian moon
Phobos is closely related to?
Well isnt that interesting.
Why are we leaving that out?)
"These are bodies from the main asteroid belt with organic molecule-rich silicates and carbon with water ice in their interiors.
(Love how "possibly" gets skipped over
when talking about:
"with water ice in their interiors"
(Reference: Jones, Thomas D.; Lebofsky, Larry A.; Lewis, John S.; Marley, Mark S. (1990-11-01). "The composition and origin of the C, P, and D asteroids: Water as a tracer of thermal evolution in the outer belt". Icarus. 88 (1): 172–192. Bibcode:1990Icar...88..172J. doi:10.1016/0019-1035(90)90184-B. ISSN 0019-1035.)
"If the initial water ice detection is confirmed, it could indeed represent some of the oldest and most pristine water ever observed, formed in another planetary system and preserved throughout its interstellar journey," Yang said."
"Yang emphasized that
there is yet to be
a direct detection
of individual compounds
around 3I/ATLAS,
with these results representing
an inferred composition."
(So all of this?
Just for:
no
"direct detection
of individual compounds"
and?
"these results
representing
an inferred composition"
(deduce or conclude
(information)
from evidence
(lacking so far yo)
and reasoning
rather than from
explicit statements.
(Or in this case, evidence)
"Observing it near perihelion [its closest approach to the sun gave us a rare opportunity to study how interstellar material behaves under solar heating, an exciting and scientifically valuable event,"
(Then there should be some evidence
of gas molecules
and there isn't,
and not only that,
it is made worse
by the fact that
there is no explanation given
as to why evidence of those gas molecules
could be lacking.)
"Yall gonna make me
loose my mind
up in here, up in here..."
Time to make some decisions
about your souls conscious energy
final resting place.
Quick like in a hurry yo.
