NASA's big reveal of the mysterious interstellar object has been slammed as a joke, with many claiming the space agency is covering up what they really know.
The newest images of the visitor, known as 3I/ATLAS, were released by the space agency on Wednesday.
However, the pictures, taken on a rather sophisticated camera on Mars, were largely blurry and showed only a distant dot.
Moreover, NASA refuted any claims that the object, which had made unexpected maneuvers that dumbfounded experts, is anything other than a large space rock.

'What a waste of time! NASA is lying so bad. They are all so scripted. The gaslighting is off the charts,' one person posted on X.
'You have lost all credibility with this blurry hogwash photo. Anyone over there who cares about Earth should dump the entire unedited image archive to Wikileaks,' another social media user wrote.
NASA's HiRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was expected to provide one of the best images of 3I/ATLAS to date, since it was able to view the object from just 19 million miles away.
However, the image shown on Wednesday was a fuzzy, black-and-white picture that did not have any definition.

3I/Atlas didn’t kill itself.
I stopped watching a couple on minutes in when the NASA talking head started going on how they couldn’t talk about this info before because of the shutdown.
Where you able to watch?
I forgot about it, was busy with Christmas lights and stuff.
Comets are fuzzy, people. That’s all 31 Atlas is, an interstellar comet. And NASA isn’t even paying me to say this.
'NASA= NEVER A STRAIGHT ANSWER,' an X user posted during the press event.
😆
“Many claiming”. Who?
1.) It’s a rock.
2.) We have far better surveillance of space than we ever did before.
3.) These things will be routine and boring in 10 years.
4.) At any time one should expect about 10 interstellar objects larger than a meter inside the orbit of Neptune if neighboring stars shed debris at the same rate as our solar system. They are just the dust being gravitationally scattered off other solar systems’ equivalent of the Ort Cloud.
What’s the big deal? If it isn’t a comet, then all that’s left to do is BOHICA
Who?
The guys on You Tube with bad graphics and AI voices.
And that guy from Harvard.
That’s about it.
LOL
“And that guy from Harvard.”
I have watched many of Avi Loeb’s videos on this subject. He says it is most likely a rock but he’s keeping an open mind. Of course it takes him hours of videos to say that. :-)
I want my money back
I saw some of this earlier. I was disappointed. It seems that NASA has not learned much of anything new.
“It’s turned on it’s thrusters!!”
Something I’ve actually been seeing online. Everything is a giant conspiracy all the time for every single thing.
Well its cold where they live, they would have to adapt to the environment to stay warm.
The article is silly nonsense.
Avi Loeb sounds to me almost like Yuval Noah Harari.
I don’t like Harari, so it makes Loeb hard to listen to.
“Everything is a giant conspiracy all the time for every single thing.”
And everything is a distraction (from every other thing, I guess)
I saw the replay on YouTube. It’s definitely a comet, but still a peculiar one. They showed a few pictures, but nothing really out of the ordinary for a comet.
