3I/Atlas Updates @ 8 November 2025

Qicheng Zhang/Lowell Observatory ~ LiveScience

Right. Time to catch up on some updates regarding our Interstellar Visitor. Which means wading through some really questionable content online 🙄

First up is the potentially first image of post-Perihelion 3I/Atlas, courtesy of amateur Astronomer Qicheng Zhang. Hmmmm still no tail. 

There's a more recent one also taken by Zhang, also tail-less:

Cometary

Based on more credible sources, in the recent period prior to and post Perihelion, it would seem that:

*3I/Atlas appears to be hotter than expected, confounding experts (again) 

*3I/Atlas has brightened considerably beyond expectations (again)

*3I/Atlas has accelerated independently of gravity, defying odds (....again?)

*data is being shared by amateur Astronomers instead of official channels (again).

 

In other words, this Visitor is yet again exhibiting very non-Comet-like behaviour.

 

Here are some reports from Avi Loeb that highlight some relevant points and considerations about what's happening with 3I/Atlas. While I do not share his strong concern for a hostile attack/takeover by advanced ETs, I do appreciate his observations and perspectives, and his determination to be swimming uphill against the mainstream.

By the way Avi Loeb, here are some interesting scenarios for you to consider:

• No need to worry about an Alien Invasion ~ they already did that eons ago and that's why we have a global control system 
• Focus instead on getting rid of the negative Alien Intruders right in our own backyard
• Nasa isn't what you think it is, and the "Space Force" isn't to protect Humanity
• The Invisible Wars (becoming not so invisible) between negative Intruder Races and Guardians have been raging for eons
• We all are of ET origin.

 
Okeydoke back to Avi Loeb's reports:

3I/ATLAS Rapidly Brightens and Gets Bluer than the Sun Near Perihelion

 

Excerpt: The appearance of 3I/ATLAS as bluer than the Sun is very surprising. Dust is expected to redden the scattered sunlight, and the surface of the object is expected to be an order of magnitude colder than the 5,800 degrees Kelvin at the photosphere of the Sun, resulting in it having a redder color than the Sun. We must therefore add the blue color at perihelion as a ninth anomaly to the list of unexpected properties (compiled most recently here) of this strange interstellar object. Does it employ a power source that is hotter than the Sun?

 

First Evidence for a Non-Gravitational Acceleration of 3I/ATLAS at Perihelion

 

Afterthoughts on the Non-Gravitational Acceleration of 3I/ATLAS at Perihelion

Excerpt: If we do not observe a massive cloud of gas around 3I/ATLAS in December, then the reported non-gravitational acceleration near perihelion might be regarded as a technological signature of a propulsion system. 

 

I do not understand much of the scientific mechanics in the articles, but for those who do, the articles would be beneficial. I also appreciate Avi Loeb calling the term "dark comet" an oxymoron 😄 That's the scientific experts for you.

There's also an interview with Ashley Banfield, which I found informative. Please watch it here. 

(For information, in case there is any accusation of bias or prejudice since it's obvious I don't think much of the Scientific sector ~ I was a Science student in my Higher Education years, a Science graduate, and had a Science-based career.)

I think it's very encouraging to see amateur Astronomers step in and provide public data about this Visitor. This is a telling example of how "We the Little People" will be the ones to initiate, create and expand our New Reality, independent of "governments" and other control structures as much as possible. To me, this is the true meaning of "The meek shall inherit the Earth". More about that another time.

 

Namarie! 💗
