The arrival of a mysterious crime to the Solar System: A comet or a foreign ship?

An anonymous guest from the depths of the cosmos has entered the solar system; A fast -paced crime whose true nature is still in a state of uncertainty. NASA scientists are currently describing it as an active comet; But some researchers believe that the characteristics of this crime are different from common comets.

The crime, known as 3i/Atlas, was discovered on July 1 by a telescope in Chile. This mass is the third interdisciplinary guest of the Solar System and moves to the sun at a speed of about 5,000 kilometers per hour; The fastest example has been observed so far. Research suggests that the size of the mass can vary between 1.5 kilometers, the length of the Ted Williams tunnel in Boston, up to 2 kilometers, equivalent to the diameter of Manhattan Island in New York.

“The images show that the core of this aura is formed around the core of a aura that indicates the activity of a comet.” But Harvard’s prominent physicist Avi Loubo has a different view. “The images show that the light is located in the front of the mass,” he says, referring to the image of the Hubble Space Telescope. “If the object was an ordinary comet, the surface dust would have to be moved backwards.”

Louib has even designed a “probability scale” to measure the probability of normal or abnormalities of this crime; This tool helps to figure out whether we are facing a regular comet or something different and unusual. “The great size and the exact path of the mass, which moves along the planet’s plate, are unique,” he says.

Safe distance from the ground

According to calculations, 3i/Atlas will cross the client, Mars and the Sun. But in the end, about 2 million kilometers from the ground; So there is no danger to our planet.

“With the closer to the sun and getting more heat, the true nature of the mass becomes apparent,” says Louib. “If it is found that the source of this crime is abnormal, it can be an important warning for humans, and we may understand that there is a smarter in the neighbor’s universe.”

Currently, the 3i/Atlas is near the customer, and astronomers hope the more accurate images of the telescopes will help clarify the true nature of this mysterious guest.
