Speaker 1 (00:00):
The unexpected happened. Three iat lists changed. It went from
glowing green to glowing in the blue spectrum. We thought
Three Eye Atlas would be hidden behind the Sun for
weeks because most of our technology cannot observe it. During
this time, scientists expected it to either break apart from
the intense heat or simply fade as it made its
closest approach. And now fresh data suggests something even stranger
(00:24):
is going on with this interstellar visitor. Today we're breaking
down the newest scientific paper examining what NASA's instruments captured
at closest approach to the Sun and exploring why some
researchers are raising eyebrows about data that keeps getting stranger.
As always, I'm here to report the information without bias,
and you can decide what to believe. You can find
(00:44):
the sources in my detailed articles at ufonews dot com
along within the description box below. Hey you follow yours.
I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this episode of UFO
News Updates. A new paper published on October twenty eighth
by researchers G. Chung Shong from Low Observatory and Carl
Badams from the US Naval Research Laboratory documents something that
(01:05):
is crazy. Between September and October of this year, as
three eye atlasts approached its closest point to the Sun,
a brightened at a rate never before recorded of any commet.
The team analyzed data from multiple space instruments, including Stereo
a's camera, the SOHO observatory, and GO nineteen's coronagraph. These
(01:27):
are satellites that continuously monitor the Sun and happened to
capture three I Atlas during a period when Earth based
telescopes couldn't observe it due to the solar glare. The
comet's brightness increased with the power scaling of negative seven
point five to put them into contacts. Typical commets brightened
at rates between negative two and negative four as they
(01:49):
approach the Sun. This means three I Atlas was getting
dramatically brighter, far faster than any known solar system comment
what could be the conventional rent for that? Either way,
getting data is challenging. Here's what Avi Lop had to
say on NEWSMACS.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I corresponded with Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who promised to
get in touch with NASA and encourage them to release
the data because the principal investigator is at the University
of Arizona, is not a NASA employee, and moreover, it's
time to share the data with the scientific community, even
if they don't want to make a press release. That
(02:30):
it has nothing to do with communicating it to the media.
It has to do with scientific practice allowing us to
plan the observations ahead or what we already know.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Beyond the unusual brightening, the research paper documents something even
more bizarre. When scientists analyze the color of three ialysts
using different filters on the Alasco Corona graph, they discovered
the comment appeared distinctly bluer than the Sun, and this
finding contradicts basic physics. Helmets are covered in dust and ice.
(03:02):
Dust scatters light in a way that makes objects appear redder,
not bluer. Additionally, the surface temperature of three eye atlas
should be approximately twenty times cooler than the Sun's photosphere,
which sits at about five eight hundred degrees kelvin. The
research paper suggests two possible explanations. First, gas emissions from
(03:23):
molecules like carbon monoxide when heated. Carbon dioxide and ammonia
could be contributing significant visual light. These gases can produce
blue wavelengths when excited by solar radiation. The second possibility
involves heat sources we have not yet identified. If three
Eye Atlas is predominantly ice and dusty as expected, explaining
(03:46):
temperatures high enough to produce blue light becomes extremely difficult.
But if you thought that was weird, it only gets
more weird, So stay with me on this. The day
after three Eye Atlas reached its closest approach to the Sun,
a NASA engineer by the name of David Pharnosia reported
something rather unusual. He discovered that forces other than just
(04:07):
gravity are now pushing and pulling on this object as
it travels through space. The measurements showed the comet is
being pushed away from the Sun at one hundred and
thirty five kilometers per day squared, and it is also
being nudged sideways at sixty kilometers per day squared. Now,
for normal comets, this kind of push usually comes from
(04:28):
ice heating up and turning into gas, which shoots off
the surface like a rocket engine in slow motion. If
this pushing force is coming from normal ice turning to gas,
the math tells us something important. At the speed this
is happening, three I Atlas would be losing about half
of its total mass every six months. That is a
(04:49):
massive amount of material being thrown off in a very
short time. If this continues, scientists should be able to
see a huge cloud of gas and dust around the
comet when it gets closer to Earth in December, which
would prove is what is actually happening.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You know, yesterday was a special day. That was the
day when three I Atlas came closest to the Sun.
We cannot observe it from Earth because the Sun is
between us and this object. However, there are several instruments
that were able to observe it that are looking at
the Sun, and some of them are satellites. And as
(05:27):
of this morning, we have a report that the object
got much brighter than expected, much brighter than any previous
comet from the Solar System did as it approached the
sun perihelium, so to speak. And moreover, the color of
the object is blue, bluer than the Sun, and that's
(05:48):
very surprising.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
The scientific paper projects that if these trends continue, three
I Atlasts should be visible at approximately magnitude nine invisible
light as it emerges from behind the Sun, and that
is bright enough to be seen through amateur telescopes. The
European Space Agencies Juice spacecraft, currently traveling toward Jupiter, is
(06:10):
positioned to make observations in early November. However, because Juice
uses its communication dish as a heat shield when pointed
at the Sun, the data will not be transmitted back
to Earth until February twenty twenty six surprise prize. The
real test comes on December nineteenth, when three I Atlas
(06:31):
makes its closest approach to Earth at a distance of
two hundred and sixty nine million kilometers, and at that point,
hundreds of ground based telescopes, along with the Hubble Space
Telescope and potentially the James Web Space Telescope, will have
clear views. If three I Atlists lost ten percent of
its mass throughout gassing, as the math suggests that should
(06:53):
be obvious, there should be a massive plume of gas
and dust visible surrounding the odd Scientists will be able
to measure the composition of that material through spectroscopy, breaking
down the line into its component wavelengths to identify specific molecules.
The observation will also reveal whether the blue color persists
(07:15):
or was a temporary phenomenon related to peak heating. If
it was ionized carbon monoxide, as some researchers suggest, we
should see specific emission lines in that spectrum. If it
was something else, the December observation might give us our
first real clues. However, one critical piece of information remains missing.
(07:37):
Despite multiple requests from scientists and even congressional representatives, NASA
has not released high resolution images taken by the high
rise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter on October seconds.
That instrument captured three i atlasts at a distance where
its thirty megapixel camera could potentially resolve surface features. Hmm,
(08:01):
I wonder why acting NASA had Sean Duffy mentioned time
and time again how transparent NASA is, but his words
are not matching the actions. We are ultra transparent well.
Either way, The delay in releasing this data has raised questions,
as it should. According to reporting from the IFL Science
(08:21):
published on October thirtieth, three i at lists passed both
solar conjunction and closest approach without breaking apart. The object
remains intact, which is kind of unusual. It is currently
within the orbit of Mars, but moving away from the
Sun each day. Now, what makes this object so valuable
to science is where it came from. Three i Atlats
(08:43):
formed around a completely different star in another solar system,
potentially billions of years ago. Some scientists think it could
be twice as old as our own solar system. By
studying it, we get a very rare glimpse into how
planets and comets formed highly different cosmic neighborhood, and that
is one of the biggest takeaways from the object. If
(09:05):
it is natural, it still has so much to offer
humanity to help us better understand space. As December approaches
and more telescopes point towards three i at lists, we
will be covering every major development, so make sure you're
subscribed with notifications on so you do not miss any
of the analysis. With those crucial observations coming in the
next few months could answer a lot of our questions
(09:29):
or raise entirely new ones. I'm christian Na Gomez and
let's it for today. Be safe and remember keep your eyes.
