...possibly indicating that the design could be intentional.

Why can't they just concede that they don't know everything about the solar system and comets yet? This whole spacecraft mystery stuff is dumb. They should be better than that with all the money we spend on them. They're probably just sensationalizing this to keep the research money flowing to themselves.

More horsepuckey from Horsepuckey Central.

From the so-called “article:”

“”3I/ATLAS glows red in the new images with a seemingly threatening aura.””

It “glows” red because the Webb Space Telescope is an infrared telescope!

C’mon, Man!

One of the best places for real science is

The quote below comes from this specific article:

https://behindtheblack.com/behind-the-black/points-of-information/webb-and-spherex-space-telescope-observe-interstellar-comet-3i-atlas/

“”These results, along with all the observations by multiple other telescopes in space and on the ground, are in line with what is expected from a comet, with the kind of unique differences expected from each object. There is nothing seen so far from the data to suggest anything alien about it, despite the claims of some publicity-seeking scientists who don’t even specialize in comet research.””

I’ve seen some videos on YouTube claiming that 3I/ATLAS is changing direction and coming our way. Ridiculous, of course. YouTube is turning into the Weekly World News. Too many charlatans out there looking to make some money off of others’ gullibility. The sad fact is people actually watch this stuff.

If it ever DOES change direction and head for us, I’m sure everyone will be broadcasting it.

"This is 16 times more extreme than expected for a typical comet at the same distance from the Sun"

Yeah but unlike other comets, this one has been floating in interstellar space for a few billion years.

So frozen carbon dioxide. Oh no! It’s gonna cause solar system wide warming.

There has been some speculation the object is possibly seeding the solar system, and eventually earth will pass close to the spreading debris field of gas or dust like matter being released, described as tiny particulates that are being ejected and left behind by the object. Once earth eventually passes through this ejected field of “dust” it will appear as a great meteor shower event. So there ya have it.

if it is not a comet we are eventually toast. but if it is aliens it is far more likely we toast ourselves long before any actual aliens could get here. Assuming of course that the craft is not full of nanobots to do their version of terraforming and assuming they want an earth type climate as a starting point

Here's my unexciting, but reasonable, take:

3I/Atlas is an interesting object on a very interesting trajectory.
We should study it and learn more.
