3I/Atlas: Summary Report From The Space Race ~ 5 October 2025

Edit: 6 October 2025

The number of Planets estimated in this Universe has been compared to the grains of sand in the entire world. Wanting to be more accurate (I had stated "trillions" in this post), I checked if there's an actual estimate, and here's something fairly official from Live Science:

"If our galaxy has around 100 billion planets, and there are one trillion other galaxies, and each of them probably has as many planets, we can multiply that together to get 100 sextillion planets in the universe," Popinchalk said. (That's a 1 followed by 23 zeroes.)

"Trillions" is no where near even 1 sextillion πŸ˜†


Posting this one from The Space Race as it has ~ like their previous report ~ a good account of The Visitor (that's what I've been calling 3I/Atlas), including some nice explanations.

Here's the link to the video:

A point I would like to make is ummmm.....advanced civilisations would not use primitive rocket-based propulsion systems πŸ˜‰

And coming back to C₂ (or lack thereof) ~ I didn't want to mention it before but will do so now because it's just a non-expert opinion (that's my caveat). Our carbon-rich existence in this realm (including our biology) is related to our density. As we evolve into the next phase, we will become less carbon-based and more silicon. 

As for the Wow Signal ~ well....almost 5 decades have passed and a large portion of the public is still in denial, still believing that we are so special that out of trillions of Planets in just one (out of numerous) Universe, no other Life exists. Except bacteria or virus or some primordial single-cell creatures. Wow indeed. Well done, Society, Media and Religions! OK mini rant over πŸ˜„

"The truth is out there" cue X-files music....

3I/Atlas: Images From Mars Perseverance Rover ~ 4 October 2025

Nasa

We have images! Both these images from Nasa's website were courtesy of the Mars Perserverance Rover, and referenced by Avi Loeb.

Nasa

My first reaction to these images was "It's cylindrical?!" Or, as a Ufologist would say, "cigar-shaped". The second reaction I had was the puzzling thought of why the background of these images look so....bare.

Of course, what do I know since I'm just a layperson on this topic πŸ˜„ but can't blame me for having those reactions for all the obvious reasons.

Anyway, Avi Loeb offers a mathematical explanation for the elongated shape of this mysterious Visitor, please read it here. (Basically, a time-integation composition of images.) He did not state the probable size of 3I/Atlas, though. If memory serves, I do remember reading that he believes this Visitior to be much larger than the maximum size determined by Nasa (5.6 km diameter) but did not provide statistics.

We're still left with several unanswered questions....

3I/Atlas Mars Flyby: 3 October 2025 ~ Stefan Burns

European Space Agency


In this video, Stefan Burns highlights the possible connection between the on-going shutdown and 3I/Atlas' Mars flyby, where nearby probes are expected to monitor the Visitor. Some related agencies have halted services ~ including Nasa ~ potentially impacting delivery of data to the public. However, other countries' space agencies have indicated they would track this Visitor during the times it's in close proximity with their probes/cameras.

Stefan also presents recent astounding timelapse images showing 3I/Atlas (purportedly) shooting across Space at an incredible speed. There is also an image taken by another amateur astronomer Filipp Romanov on 2 October 2025.

Here's the link to the video:

Solar Activity: 29 September & Ongoing

SpaceWeather

How gorgeous is that? 😍 There were no active CMEs coming the way of Earth, but there were Auroras galore due to the "Russell-McPherron effect", as explained by SpaceWeather.

We've also having a prolonged period of storming, including a few hours at the G3 "strong" category:

 

....accompanied by high Solar wind speeds:


 

I screenshot these earlier today, when both pressure and density were extremely high:

Solar Activity, SR & More Comets: 24 - 26 September 2025

Gregorio M Vigilante del Sol

A month ago, I had written (here):

We've not been getting much Earth-facing strong Solar activity for some time now but as per my earlier post, our Sun is still very active in other parts of the Solar System. I feel that 3I/Atlas will have some effect on our Sun as it approaches nearer in the days to come.

With its estimated size (still under debate with Scientists but generally agree that it's "large"), imagine the amount of Cosmic Plasma and its inherent "data" that 3I/Atlas is carrying. There's some serious upgrading happening here.

 

I was expecting 3I/Atlas to affect our Sun but instead it's the other way around!  

SpaceWeather reported on 23 September 2025 (here) that a forecast showed 3I/Atlas flying straight into a CME around 24th or 25th of September 2025:


Of course the Visitor isn't shown on the forecast ~ but I'm assuming the deduction made is that the CME is heading Mars' way and that's the time that 3I/Atlas would be approaching Mars as well, as shown below:

TheSkyLive

 

I can only imagine what effects that would produce! SpaceWeather highlighted some relevant considerations in this excerpt:

A CME IS HEADING FOR INTERSTELLAR COMET ATLAS: How often does a CME from our sun strike a comet from interstellar space? Almost never--so tomorrow’s collision is worth watching. According to a NASA forecast model, a CME launched on Sept. 19th will reach Comet 3I/ATLAS on Sept. 24th or 25th. CMEs hitting Solar System comets have been known to kink or even disconnect their tails. What happens to an interstellar comet is anyone’s guess.  

Are we getting flooded with even more Cosmic Plasma from this noteworthy encounter? 

 

And if this isn't exciting enough, we have Comet Swan and C/2025 K1(Atlas) both in the vicinity of Mars right now as well. Did they also get impacted by the same CME?

TheSkyLive

I can't be certain, but the main image at the top of this post could be the CME in question. It blasted out on 19 September 2025. 

  

During the time period of 24 - 26 September 2025, we had some SR whites:

Significant Shift? 6:00 UTC 26 September 2025

Documenting my personal experience in case anyone else had the same, and also for my own future reference. I haven't yet checked with anyone. As usual, my opinion only.

This would be around 6:00 UTC today 26 September 2025. A sudden wave of drowsiness came over me, but I deep-breath'd it away since I was in the midst of doing something. Few minutes later, I felt it ~ one of those energetic Shifts that's been happening so frequently now it's become part of "normal" Life. 

But this one was different ~ it went on for several minutes, and even after that the sensation lingered. I won't lie, it was uncomfortable because it felt like I was sea-sick. It was as if I was in some sort of ebb and flow of an energetic tide. I realised that was why I felt the need to lie down and regretted not doing so. 

There's some significant Solar and SR stuff going on as well, and I'll get to that in the next post. I cannot claim that they are related to what I felt, I can only state that all happened around the same time period.

Comet 3I/Atlas ~ 23 September 2025

Michael JΓ€ger and Gerald Rhemann ~ COBS

Lately ~ following the initial excitement and hullabaloo ~ there seems to be woefully very little official data being published for something so unique that's having several heavy-duty telescope arrays trained upon it. The latest image we have of 3I/Atlas is thanks to amateur Astronomers Michael JΓ€ger and Gerald Rhemann on 7 September 2025 (image above), showing that 3I/Atlas had turned emerald green ~ yet another property baffling experts in view of it lacking Dicarbon C₂.

Before that, we had the Gemini South telescope showing our visitor with a little tail on 27 August 2025 (here):

Gemini South
 

A quick check at Nasa's website shows that the latest entry for 3I/Atlas was on 25 August 2025, and even then that was about what the James Webb telescope observed on 6 August 2025 (here)

The lack of new "official" data is conspicuous.

 

Conversely, as if to overfill the void, we have an explosion of sensational resources with attention-grabbing headlines ranging from dire-doomsday to biblical-rapture, and everything in between. This includes the alt-media and spiritual communities claiming contact with the occupants of 3I/Atlas, receiving downloads and messages from Galactic Federation, Lyrans, Jesus et al. It's all adding pandemonium to an already frazzled and fractured world.

In the midst of all that confusion, I came across a couple of videos that had good content, one from Stefan Burns and the other from Space Race.  The one from Space Race presents a collection of data from what we have so far, and is great for anyone wanting a summary. I took brief notes for first video, which I will post below. Stefan Burns goes into more detail and provides good explanations for some of the properties exhibited by 3I/Atlas. 

Stefan Burns @21 September 2025:

*Rapid brightening may possibly be emanating from nucleus instead of coma ~ graph below shows exponential rise

 

*3 October Flyby Mars 0.25 AU

*21 October Superior Conjunction (Earth / Sun / Atlas in straight line, Atlas hidden from view behind Sun)

*31 October Perihelion 

*Highlights anomalous green colour in absence of abundance of C₂

*Explains how and why Comet tails are always pointing away from Sun, even after Perihelion ~ this in reference to 3I/Atlas' anti-tail

*He thinks it's bringing in energies of Consciousness

*He mentions not placing definitions on 3I/Atlas because we don't know what it is ~ this was something I mentioned earlier when I said we shouldn't try to shoehorn 3I/Atlas into known parameters (here)

*Stefan has also pointed out that with so much Plasma being emitted by this as well as other Comets present, this will only increase Solar activity as our Sun interacts with them. I can't remember for sure, but I think he could have brought this up in another one of his videos which I watched. This is why I always wonder about the "payload" factor whenever a Comet or Visitor comes into our Solar System, especially one as intriguing as 3I/Atlas. It's my belief that some, if not most or all, will deliver some sort of....stuff. I have also given my opinion about this in an earlier post about Cosmic Plasma being delivered and its interaction with our Sun (here).

 

Namaste! πŸ’—
