We’re gonna need a bigger telescope.
Scientists have discovered that the 3I/ATLAS — a Manhattan-sized interstellar object that potentially has alien tech — is much larger than previously thought, according to a new report.
First discovered by NASA on July 1, the cosmic anomaly has been under watch by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and his team as it shoots across the solar system. The object, which is believed to be a comet, reportedly has interstellar origins, making it the third ever object from beyond the solar system ever detected after ‘Oumuamua, which was discovered in 2017, and 2I/Borisov in 2019.
Now the team has gleaned some “sizable” new intel on the interstellar visitor, namely that the “mass of 3I/ATLAS must be bigger than 33 billion tons,” per a blog post by Loeb.

Here’s a new twist on what’s on the confab agenda. Note Dave discusses what could happen when/if 3I/ATLAS hits Mars and sends debris hurling off into our solar system. Video about 10 minutes.

Supposedly the Indians did not understand what was going on, that from the Dutch perspective they were giving up their rights to the island.
Has to approach from some direction 🤷🏼♂️
It is heading towards Mars. Its closest approach to the Sun is just inside the orbit of Mars. Earth literally won’t see much of this because the comet is now on the other side of the Sun. Where do they get the nuts who write this tripe?
Loeb is getting smarter.
Now he finds two more suckers to co-sign his nutty publications.
Certainly. But the odds seem low that it did NOT come from the solar system. There is lots of junk far out there orbiting the Sun that we cannot see, or don’t look for.
It may well leave our system on a non-orbital trajectory, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t come from one - just like Pioneer.
“Mahattan sized” may be prophetic.

Not everybody’s gonna get that reference bro! Lol!
A sci-fi fav of mine BTW. 😁
Read "Lucifer's Hammer" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
Great reading, and quite prophetic.. an apocalyptical novel written in 1970's.

A nice bedtime read. Cannibals at the nuclear power plant - “Give my children the lighting!”
