Breaking News: The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS did not break up near the Sun.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb joins “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” to discuss the comet 3I/ATLAS losing an extreme amount of mass as it makes its closest appro…

ATel #17473: Detection of 1665/1667 MHz OH absorption in 3I/ATLAS

Dr. Avi Loeb provided an update on the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, revealing that it maneuvered unexpectedly near the sun, becoming bluer and brighter on S…

The Tianwen-1 orbiter entered Mars orbit in February 2021. Its High-Resolution Imaging Camera (HiRIC), described here, employs a primary mirror diameter of 38.7 centimeters, with an inferior resolution relative to the 50-centimeter aperture of the HiRISE camera. The released HiRIC images show the nucleus and a surrounding coma with a diameter of several thousand kilometers.…

Based on momentum conservation, Dr. Loeb derived that the mass fraction lost during the perihelion passage of 3I/ATLAS is larger than 13%. For a typical comet, this should have resulted in a massive coma with dust and gas that would have been pushed by the solar radiation pressure and the solar wind to the shape…

This means that the acceleration reported by JPL (https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=C2025N1&view=VOP) could not have been produced by outgassing. So, we are likely in the presence of an artificial non-human flying object and not a comet.

Reports from the Minor Planet Center and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory just released new data on the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS following its perihelion passage on October 29, 2025. The new data covers the period between October 31 and November 4. When compared to previous data obtained on October 5–8, it appears that 3I/ATLAS brightened by…

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now rising early enough in morning twilight to be seen even with small telescopes under imperfect conditions. Here’s an image from this morning through thin clouds using a 152-mm Ritchey–Chrétien reflector.

3I/ATLAS leaked actual footage shows a large vessel and NASA activated Planetary Defense Network for interstellar object? A viral video claimed to be made by Japanese said interstellar visitor is a vessel and the claim of activation of planetary defence…
