without something about it right?
The Challenge of Obtaining Resolved Images of Interstellar Objects
Avi Loeb Medium 08/19/25
"Given its trajectory,
the nucleus of the new interstellar object,
3I/ATLAS,
cannot be resolved from Earth or space
with our existing telescopes.
(More evidence of its supernatural origins)
If the nucleus is 10 kilometer in diameter, then its angular size would be about 10 milli-arcsecond at closest approach to Earth from a distance of about twice the Earth-Sun separation."
(Okay so
we understand that,
what about
the Spectroscopic results
from the JWST?
Hum?
Where are they?)
"The best image we have so far of 3I/ATLAS, was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on July 21, 2025."
(Why is that?
When we have
a more modern instrument
available to us?
"The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This enables investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars and the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets."
"Although the Webb's mirror diameter is 2.7 times larger than that of the Hubble Space Telescope, it only produces images of comparable resolution because it observes in the infrared spectrum, of longer wavelength than the Hubble's visible spectrum. The longer the wavelength the telescope is designed to observe, the larger the information-gathering surface (mirrors in the infrared spectrum or antenna area in the millimeter and radio ranges) required for the same resolution."
It's a problem.
It has no logical explanation
other than:
There is a reason
we are not getting
INFORMATION
about the data
that we should be
from the JWST.
Might wanna ask yourself just why that is.
Some of us already know.
"What we know
Trumps what you think" etc.)
"It (the Hubble image mentioned above) shows details at the angular scale of arcseconds, a thousand times worse than possible to resolve by an optical interferometer on the Moon. The Hubble image shows a compact fuzz elongated towards the Sun ahead of the motion of 3I/ATLAS with no evidence for a bright cometary tail pushed by radiation pressure in the opposite direction.
(Quit trying to convince us its a comet.
We know better.)
"As long as the scattering medium is optically thin, it would be possible (impossible) to resolve the nucleus hidden within it."
