POV: 3I/ATLAS is making its closest approach, and you need answers. ðŸ”

We need to talk about Comet 3I/ATLAS and its seemingly suspicious behavior. Is it possible that it’s actually something else entirely. 3I/ATLAS is only the third object detected passing through our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy.So it’s understandable that we’re all wondering what’s going on. I went to Google Search and I asked AI Mode the question on everyone’s mind: As far as 3I/ATLAS speeding up goes, it’s called “non-gravitational acceleration. “ Basically, it’s acting like a tiny rocket.But ...

The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in our solar system.Even if you somehow burned Jupiter and everything that is not the Sun in a fusion reactor, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all energy.The Sun is all that matters long-term.Brian Roemmele (@BrianRoemmele):Behold: the reality of our relativity in the solar system. https://t.co/PAzJYoygbO ...

Space Exploration & Comet Research - A comet, traveling at 25,000 kilometers per hour, is approaching the solar system and will be targeted by the Comet Interceptor mission [1][3] - The Comet Interceptor mission, funded by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the Japanese Space Agency, aims to study a comet coming close to the sun for the first time [3][24] - Comets are believed to have delivered organics and water to Earth, crucial for the formation of life, but also pose a threat of impacts [12][13][14] - Missions to processed comets have limitations, necessitating a mission to an unchanged comet from the Oort cloud, which contains hundreds of billions or even trillions of comets [23][24][25] - The Comet Interceptor mission will park in a stable orbit, wait for a suitable comet, and then intercept it for a few hours to collect data [29][30][31][32] Planetary Defense & Space Mission Strategy - The mission aims to test the strategy of parking in space until a target is identified, which could be used for planetary defense against hazardous objects [33][34] - Developing instruments for space exploration is a time-consuming task, requiring years or even decades of rigorous testing [27] Scientific Significance - Asteroids and comets are relics from the early solar system, with asteroids forming closer to the sun and comets forming in the outer solar system [7] - Studying comets can provide insights into the materials from the outer solar system, where ice is preserved [22]
