As an astronomer said the other day, “The universe is full of stuff we’ve never seen. We have to stop acting so surprised when we see them for the first time.”
A serious surplus of electrons.
Imagine a plane formed by the position of the comet, Earth and Sun. If the polarity of the sunlight reflected by the comet is observed to be perpendicular to the plane, the light is positively polarized. If parallel, the light is negatively polarized.
Pretty good explanation of a complicated property of reflected light. Good science writers are rare these days.
“Pork Lips Now” did too, where the end is at the beginning, but the beginning is the end.
He’s givin it all he’s got!
That it is depressed and may need medical intervention.
nah, that is quantum particle behavoir.
James Mxwell defined the electric and magnetic fields in his signature equations.
Huygens and others came up with the wave theory.
Einstein and Planck worked on the duality particle-wave theory.
That’s nothing compared to:
“While 3I’s inversion angle resembles that of rare F-type asteroids and cometary nuclei, the depth of its negative polarization branch is almost twice as large. Extrapolation to very small phase angles indicate a steep polarization slope between phase angles 0–2°, reminiscent of certain small TNOs and Centaurs. While this finding is tentative due to a lack of data at small phase angles, it is consistent with the red spectral slope and evidence of water-ice detections in various independent studies.”
They’re democrats?
I’m not to concerned if it’s an alien craft. It’s taken 50 something years to get here if it’s associated with the WOW signal from the 70s as Avi Loeb seems to think so they aren’t that far advanced. Maybe like 1960s to know ahead of us 👽👽👽

Assuming the WOW signal was not a radar pulse by a mother craft which then launched all three objects - 2I’Borosov was a pathfinder/guide for 3’IAtlas; 1I’Oumuamua was as its name suggests a scout; IMI 2014 was a probe launched directly to Earth.
BTW: not that far advanced - when was the last time an interstellar probe of substantial mass was launched by Earth?
So apparently sarcasm is something you don’t comprehend. I’ve said it numerous times I won’t spell out sarcasm in the original post... Not a fan of pointing out the obvious.
With all the idiocy in comments surrounding this subject - not marking /s is leaving it open for being just another stupid comment. I have no idea what you have or have not said in the past.
Sarcasm is not appropriate here in the first place.
Oh... Thanks for clearing that up.
Considering the age and size of the Universe compared to the time Man has been studying comets, I suspect there's a lot Man doesn't know about comets and other comet-like objects and others non-comet objects hurling through space.
Still, it's a comet.
Then don’t f’n respond if you think something is a stupid comment and sarcasm is quite common and obvious to those who understand humor.
Romulans or Klingons and their cloaking device!.....................
Look around Uranus for them to appear!.................
I will if I want, troll.
