A Request for NASA to Release Scientific Data on 3I/ATLAS
Avi Loeb Medium 11/02/25
"During my recent podcast interview with Joe Rogan (accessible here), I had mentioned the unfortunate circumstances, under which NASA had not released for four weeks the images collected by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These images were taken on October 2–3, 2025, when the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS passed within 30 million kilometers from Mars.
(So why does he only ask
for the images from October 2nd anymore
and not the ones from when 3I/ATLAS
was the closest to Mars
on Oct 3rd as he was doing originally?)
"The images are extremely valuable scientifically because they possess a spatial resolution of 30 kilometers per pixel, about 3 times better than the spatial resolution achieved in
the best publicly available image
from the Hubble Space Telescope,
taken on July 21, 2025
(That is just insane that our best
"publicly available image"
of 3I/ATLAS is from 07/21/25.
And it was from Hubble,
which is not even our best instrument
(the JWST would have been preferred.)
This is the biggest,
brightest, fastest
most unusual,
most laws of nature defying object
mankind has ever seen
and our best
"publicly available image"
of 3I/ATLAS
is from Hubble on 07/21/25
??????????
Why only one data set released publicly from both
Hubble and the JWST as well
becomes another question that is still not being asked.)
"...(accessible here and analyzed here). Whereas the Hubble image was taken from an edge-on perspective since Earth and the Sun were separated by only ~10 degrees relative to distant 3I/ATLAS, the HiRISE image offers a sideways perspective, valuable in decoding the mass loss geometry and glow around as it approached the Sun.
"The delay in the data release was argued to be the result of the government shutdown on October 1, 2025.
(That argument just doesn't hold water anymore.
If NASA wanted people to know?
We would know.)
"Nevertheless,
conspiracy theorists suggested
that it may have to do with evidence
for extraterrestrial intelligence
in the HiRISE images."
(Aliens simply cant exist.
Life requires information.
Information requires an intellect.
There are not two owners
of the life force in the universe.
Life here wasnt an accident
so it cant be anywhere else either.
They cant give you ANY data
let alone the images from
"the HiRISE camera
onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter."
because the rover simply doesn't exist anymore.
It was obliterated by 3I/ATLAS glancing blow
to the red planet.
Prove me wrong:
Trump.
NASA.
Avi.
Anybody.
It really wouldn't be that hard
if the thing was still operational.
So wats the hold up in proving
the hick from the sticks wrong?)
"When asked about it, I suggested that the delay is probably not a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence but rather of terrestrial stupidity. We should not hold science hostage to the shutdown politics of the day. The scientific community would have greatly benefited from the dissemination of this time-sensitive data as astronomers plan follow-up observations in the coming months.
(Never gonna see it.
It was destroyed.)
Joe Rogan suggested that I contact the interim NASA administrator, Sean Duffy. The following day, I corresponded with congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna regarding a related formal request from NASA. Following our exchange, Representative Luna wrote a brilliant letter to NASA’s acting administrator Duffy.
