Space Observation & Technology - ExoMars orbiter captured images similar to those from the Hubble Space Telescope, but with lower resolution due to a smaller mirror (2.4 meters in diameter for Hubble) [2] - ExoMars camera resolution is about 340, with the glow around 3i Atlas spanning approximately two resolution elements [3] - High-rise camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (50 cm in diameter) could provide a pixel size of 30 kilometers when 3i Atlas was closest to Mars at a distance of 30 million kilometers, but data retrieval is hindered by the NASA government shutdown [4] Image Analysis & Interpretation - A distinct stripe in the first images from NASA's Perseverance rover is likely motion blur, potentially caused by one of Mars' moons (Phobos or Demos) [6][7] - The elongated image is consistent with a long exposure (around 10 seconds) of one of Mars' moons, showing a sequence of spheres [8] Object 3i Atlas Assessment - Object 3i Atlas is estimated to have a 30-40% chance of not being a natural object due to anomalies such as its lack of a typical comet tail, its location in the plane of the planets, its proximity to Mars and Jupiter, its large size, and its extension glow towards the sun [9] - Monitoring of 3i Atlas is necessary to determine if it has a technological origin that could pose a threat to humanity [10] Policy Recommendation - A white paper has been submitted to the United Nations suggesting the creation of a committee to evaluate signatures of objects and alert against potential threats [10]

Many would say NASA needs to be going for the moon shots to use a better pun, but they should be going for extraordinary exploration. They perhaps shouldn't be funding well testing of, well, certain private companies engines. They shouldn't be actually beefing up in terms of manages.They'd be stripping layers. But is this going to the moon shots to. Well, I think that's kind of the question of of the moment right now.There's this fundamental tension of what an asset is supposed to be. You know, for years, f ...
