Funny how after #oumuamua and #3iAtlas both "comets" with very non comet characteristics, including non-gravitational acceleration. Europe build a "comet" interceptor to be ready for the third "comet".

@angryastro
We may not be able to see 3I Atlas any more, but it hasn't left the Solar System!
In fact, it's still inside the orbit of #saturn
And astronomers just made two bizarre discoveries about this mysterious interstellar object!

@angryastro.bsky.social
Deep in intergalactic space, in the vicinity of the Large Magellanic Cloud, there's a star that's going impossibly fast.
At over 3,000 km per second, it could travel from Earth to PLUTO in less than 20 days!
And it's not the only one.
