Well lookie here...3I/ATLAS news...Watdoyaknow.

 

New Images of Nickel and Cyanide 

Around 3I/ATLAS from the Keck Telescope

Avi Loeb Medium 10/15/25

"A new paper on the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS (accessible here), reports data taken by the Keck II telescope in Hawaii on August 24, 2025, when 3I/ATLAS was at distances of 2.75 and 2.6 times the Earth-Sun separation (AU) from the Sun and Earth, respectively. As with the Hubble Space Telescope image obtained on July 21, 2025 (analyzed here and here), the image taken by the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) in the wavelength range of 0.3425 to 0.55 micrometers shows evidence for a puzzling anti-tail extension in the direction of the Sun.

(I like what the one article said.

It's flying backwards lol.

Might as well be lol.)

"In contrast from all known comets, including the interstellar comet 2I/Borisov, the observed spectrum of the gas plume around 3I/ATLAS shows prominent nickel emission but no evidence for iron."

 "A narrow-band KCWI image of 3I/ATLAS in nickel (Ni) and cyanide (CN) emission...shows a central concentration of nickel relative to cyanide. The emissions by the surrounding gas plume extends out to an exponential radius of 600 kilometers for nickel and 840 kilometers for cyanide."

(Thats poison BTW.

And a lot of it.)

"In describing another anomaly, the authors state that “the production rate of nickel relative to cyanide is higher than in 2I/Borisov and orders of magnitude above the solar system comet median.”

"The emission profiles of both nickel and cyanide around 3I/ATLAS are asymmetric with extension in the solar and anti-solar directions, offering clear evidence for an anti-tail. Most remarkably, the white light image of 3I/ATLAS does not show evidence for a familiar cometary tail, as expected for dust which scatters sunlight and is pushed away from the Sun by solar radiation pressure."

The above data adds new anomalies to the classification of 3I/ATLAS as a familiar comet. The more data we get about 3I/ATLAS, the more it looks like an outlier. Taking account of the seven previous anomalies of 3I/ATLAS.

(So wat we got 

like 9 anomalies now?

I told honey July 4th 

when we first started talking about this

that it was just gonna get weirder and weirder

the closer it got.

Yup...)

"We are still waiting 

for the public release 

of the images taken 

by the HiRISE camera 

onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 

on October 2, 2025."

(So we know they them now?

They just haven't been released to the public yet?

Well how long have they had them then?

And why haven't they released them?

Being that we know they have them and all.)

 "The HiRISE images will show a side view of the glow around 3I/ATLAS when it passed within 30 million kilometers from Mars. Its pixel resolution of 30 kilometers will be about 3 times better than that of our best images so far from the Keck and Hubble telescopes. Additional spacecraft data on 3I/ATLAS will be provided from the Juice spacecraft in November 2025 

(That we wont get the data back from until Feb.)

and from the Juno spacecraft in March 2026."

"Science is fun because it allows us to acquire new knowledge from evidence collected by instruments rather than stories collected by people."

It aint no story.

It's the truth.

Revelation 8:8

And the second angel sounded, 

and as it were a great mountain 

burning with fire 

was cast into the sea: 

and the third part of the sea 

became blood;

And I know

Avi knows that.

Yes I do.
