3I/ATLAS

Веретенников Сергей · Nov 1, 2025

As we naturally know, humans can currently travel only to other planets. And even then, only in the form of spacecraft.

Although humans have already been to the Moon. And will fly there again. And Mars is not far off...

But what about flying to other stars!?

Humans cannot even dream of such a thing yet.

It is a veeeery great distance.

And as for other galaxies, it is downright frightening even to imagine.

Are there any analogues of interstellar travel?

It turns out there are.

Right now, an object is literally in our Solar System that was previously in another—or even several—star systems!

Yes, of course, it is comet 3I/ATLAS.

But at first it was near one star, now it is near our star, and then it will fly toward some other star...

Can you imagine how amazing that is?

In all the history of observations, there have been only two other objects that did roughly the same thing.

Yes, you are not flying anywhere.

You are simply seeing an object that was near some other star and has flown to you.

But still, how impressive!

Moreover, no one knows where this comet was even born.

Around which other star. In which other world...

And here we are, seeing it nearby.

Isn't that a miracle?

Good evening, everyone. Topics like these have always resonated with me. About 15 years ago, I read Nikolai Levashov's book The Tale of the Clear Falcon: The Past and the Present. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. It tells of our distant ancestors' journey to other habitable planets in other star systems. So I believe that soon we will be able to do it all again

We need to make contact with it—to find out where it came from and where it's going

1711024 · Nov 2, 2025

1366601 , first we need to catch up with it

I’m also following the news about this object and waiting to see whether it will perform a gravity assist maneuver. If that happens, perhaps it isn’t a comet at all...

It is expected that the comet will make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025. The distance will be 270 million km.

If only we could mount this 31/ATLAS comet and ride it through other star systems...

1711024 · Nov 2, 2025

4257 , as the song goes: riding a star.

I think that being attached to this object would hold us back

We have other "tools": consciousness and imagination as part of it, which lack such a dimension as speed

Comets have clearly been visiting us rather frequently.

Here is the main comet of October 2025—designated C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).

Visible to the naked eye.

This is the brightest comet of the year. And perhaps one of the 10 brightest comets ever observed.

A delight for astronomers, since it can be photographed very easily.

Don’t miss it!

It is at the peak of its brightness RIGHT NOW.

In the sky, look for the comet in the constellation Boötes at the end of October, and closer to Ophiuchus at the beginning of November.

All comets behave unpredictably!

That is because they are affected by the heat of our Sun, and the Solar System as a whole is stressful for them.

As a result, pieces can break off, or they may begin evaporating more intensely...

And all this can lead to sudden changes in their orbits and motion.

This is especially important when comets fly near Earth.

Because their planned (calculated) orbits do not always reflect what will actually happen.

And this is what ChatGPT depicted when it drew Comet Atlas:

Hmm, it seems to me that all these comets are flying around for a reason, at least toward here. It feels as though they are carrying something for someone and are being controlled by an intelligent entity.

It doesn’t really look like a comet.

But it does look very much like a UFO ship

I wonder what prompted it to depict the comet that way

4257 · Nov 2, 2025

Atlas looks like a spacecraft with a jet engine; perhaps someone is sitting inside

Hair of Space.

Comet is a scientific term.

Coma is also a scientific term, denoting the cloud of gas around a comet, behind it like a tail: Coma (comet) — Wikipedia

Both comet and coma are Greek words meaning hair.

This hair appears only near a star—for example, near our Sun. And it points away from the Sun, since it is the comet’s reaction to the solar wind.

Amazing, isn’t it?
If you look at it from an outside perspective, it is literally like the Sun’s hair:

Under normal conditions, when a comet travels from star to star, it has no tail. The tail is only the result of the influence of being near the Sun.

Of course, not all bodies travel from star to star, becoming comets.

Веретенников Сергей · Nov 4, 2025

There is currently a lot of discussion about 3I/ATLAS being an artificial object, i.e. a spacecraft.

First of all, claiming that there is no one else in space besides us is unscientific. Scientists fully agree that space is inhabited. To claim otherwise is simply a sign of ignorance.
And the direct proof that space is inhabited by life is us. If we did not exist, then perhaps one could doubt it

Who could possibly doubt it?

3I/ATLAS really does have many peculiarities.

First of all, it is not thirty-one.

It is 3 I Atlas.

In the classification of comets:

P/ — a short-period comet (that is, a comet whose period is less than 200 years, or one that has been observed during two or more perihelion passages);
C/ — a long-period comet;
I/ — an interstellar comet, i.e. a comet with an orbital eccentricity greater than 1;
X/ — a comet whose orbit could not be reliably calculated (usually historical comets);
D/ — comets that have disintegrated or been lost;
A/ — objects that were mistakenly identified as comets but actually turned out to be asteroids.

That is:

I — an interstellar comet.

By the way, don't these scientific terms remind you of anything:

Head
Tail

???

Yes, yes, I mean the comet right now

Who did you think I meant?

Really?

It also has a head and a tail.

And it is also Lucifer, which means “Light-Bearer.”

Notice that I have simply given you some information that is already known to everyone—I've merely highlighted it.

But suddenly everything has become more interesting.

Веретенников Сергей · Nov 4, 2025

And of course, you read my three articles a long time ago:

And see below these articles for the continuation.

Which makes it even more interesting.

Many thanks for the Slavic Crash Course. Very informative and interesting!

And about Ded Moroz... horror stories.

Today I was reading about comets and, by the way, in 2011 Comet Lovejoy passed just 140,000 km from the surface of the Sun, having been exposed to temperatures of several million degrees, and then simply continued flying on as if nothing had happened.
They definitely don’t fly near our Sun for no reason. There is some kind of connection between these comets and our Sun.

The Sun Bit Off the Comet’s Tail - Gazeta.Ru

The comet passed 140,000 km from the surface of the Sun at around 4:00 a.m. Moscow time on Friday. This is an extremely close distance: Mercury is more than 100 times farther from the Sun, and even the Moon is 2.5 times farther from Earth.

Before its “collision” with the Sun, the SOHO space observatory recorded the comet, whose brightness had reached a magnitude of minus four (the brightness of Venus), disappearing behind the disk of the star. Scientists believed they had said goodbye to the comet forever. The probability of its “survival” was extremely low. However, the SDO solar-orbiting telescope later recorded a hazy cloud emerging from behind the star’s horizon—the comet itself or its remnants.

“Somehow, it survived its passage through the solar corona, heated to several million degrees! Its return has already been recorded by the LASCO and SECCHI coronagraphs, and it is almost as bright as before. However, it lost its tail, which can still be seen in the area of space where the comet disappeared from our view,” explains Karl Battams, a solar researcher from Washington, as quoted by space.com.

Веретенников Сергей · Nov 4, 2025

There are a great many different theories.

I’m only repeating that these are just interesting theories. The probability that it is a comet is 99%.

So, the theory.

As we know, planets are used for maneuvers, using their gravity.
We know this from, for example, flights to the Moon.

The maneuver consists of flying around a planet and using its gravity as an additional free source of propulsion.

This is how we humans have learned to do it with planets.

It’s not hard to assume that there are more advanced civilizations that have gone further—using not planets, but stars, such as our Sun.

In other words, it looks very similar!

Gravity Assist Maneuver — Wikipedia

If you’re as much a fan of science fiction as I am, then you know about this from science-fiction films, stories, and so on.

That’s the minimum.

Of course, you can also learn about it simply from scientific articles.

This observation seems only to confirm that comets aren’t comets at all! Just look, here are several pieces of evidence from me (I’m an artist, this is how I see it)!

Space has incredibly low temperatures, and any object that gets there begins to become covered in ice. Why not suppose that an object carrying intelligent beings flew in from another universe and naturally began to become covered in ice! Having reached our universe and entered the temperature range of our Sun, the ice began to melt, which caused the tail to form. Visually, from Earth, it looks like a comet!
But since the comet’s tail disappeared, we can assume that this object came to warm up in our Sun’s heat and shed a huge layer of ice from itself! It lightened its burden and flew on to continue plowing through the oceans of the universe!
