had its closest encounter with Mars
on October 3rd.
"The highest resolution image was taken by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. HiRISE has an angular resolution that translated to 30 kilometers per pixel on October 3, 2025. The brightest pixel in the HiRISE image will provide the best constraint yet on the area of 3I/ATLAS. We are all hoping that the HiRISE team will release their images as soon as possible."
from the Perseverance Rover Camera
It's 11 days later.
I understand there is a government shutdown
affecting NASA etc.
But to think
that image (or images)
haven't been received?
And that data about it/them
hasn't been compiled?
etc., etc., etc.,
