So we know 3I/Atlas showed non-gravitational acceleration at perihelion, much larger acceleration than any previous comet at that distance, but the course change overall was still piddling. However, new evaluation shows the course change was just enough so that the object will be on the edge of...

Download Stellarium free to your phone and point. It'll tell you if they are starlink or other satellites I think. I know for sure it shows Starlinks, just don't know if it has them all catalogued or how long after they launch.

Doesn't matter how much they piss somebody off, they can't put the LLM genie back in the bottle. They are everywhere, they're too easy to create, and too useful for a lot of things. Yes, maybe a market bubble will pop soon. But what happened to the internet when the .com bubble popped? It...

Once upon a time the console deals were a big deal for AMD, but small potatoes now vs. the large AI server pie that is out there now which they are starting to get pieces of. So I don't don't think AMD is "hard up" right now. Who knows what the real numbers are - but of course Microsoft would...

Yep the nickel is a weird one, one of the many reasons you have to at least consider artificial origin.

Nearly everything about it has been odd. Everybody who has been saying "Its a comet, its a comet, its a comet!" without explaining all the oddities since the start has been getting owned. Yeah maybe its still a natural object, but its not like any comet we've seen before.

We can mostly only see it with the instruments that designed to look at the sun now, those are the observations they used for that paper. Still a while before all the earth based optical telescopes can see it again. The Blue shift was unexpected - and the brightening that was noted in the same...

The government shutdown gives NASA plausible reason not to release the Mars orbiter images as long as it goes on.

Loeb pointed this out in one of the Hubble images as well, and claims he's the only one that has even tried to explain how this anti-tail could occur. Just another anomaly of this "comet." His brief about this feature and summary of all the anomalies. Some interesting comments there, such as...

There's no way get out of the games business entirely in the near future. $15B+ revenue a year in games and game pass, high margin businesses. Hardware is debatable, but they will keep selling games, and the old games you bought will continue to be available on their digital stores long into...

Why is it "rightfully" deemed illegitimate, when it was in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known biblical texts ? Also referenced in parts of the bible.

For sure some kind of operation is a small possibility - Corbell and some others have insisted a psyop of "alien invasion" is coming within the next couple years, although I don't trust anything that guy says either. If it was some sort of operation its even more reason to look more closely...

Avi Loeb calculated where 3I/Atlas was when the Wow! signal would have been sent in 1977 - not exactly from the same spot, but very close to the same spot in the sky the Wow signal came from, less than 10 degrees apart. That's assuming no significant non-gravitational forces acting on it for...

Angry Astronaut guy on Avi Loeb's latest paper regarding 3I/Atlas. The TLDW is there is almost zero non-gravitational acceleration happening - its course is conforming remarking well to what you'd expect from gravity alone. The issue with that is - with the amount of gases we've seen released...

Summary of all the anomalies. I mean the trajectory by itself was beyond coincidental to begin with, nearly 2 months ago. But you would have expected as more data for it to come into focus under a normal lens. The opposite has happened so far - many of the new data points are only showing...
