La missione SPHEREx della NASA individua l'involucro luminoso di #3iatlas

@astronomia

le osservazioni hanno rivelato la composizione della chioma di 3I/ATLAS, l’involucro gassoso luminoso attorno a una cometa che si forma quando si avvicina al Sole. Il riscaldamento provoca la sublimazione dell’acqua e di altri composti volatili congelati e libera anche polvere, metalli e altro materiale proveniente dall’interno della cometa.

NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory Spotted Comet 3I/ATLAS Ten Days Before Discovery

Observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Four images are displayed, captured at various times: 10 days before discovery, 1 day after discovery, 2 days after discovery, and 18 days after discovery. On top of these four images is displayed a model of the orbits of the solar system inner planets and that of Jupiter, along with the trajectory of the comet, where the locations corresponding to the four observations are pinpointed.

i enjoy hearing about this historic interstellar object #3Iatlas cause it's truly mindblowing what we find out about it, but also to watch mainstream scientists be debunked by the #AngryAstronaut who argues here it can't be a comet.

James Webb Telescope Just Detected Mysterious Lights Inside 3I/ATLAS

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is no longer being treated as a comet. The JWST has captured "intermittent luminosity" emanating from the interior of the object—signals that follow a mathematical pattern. As it accelerates away from the Sun, the evidence is mounting:
