  2. Hello @[email protected] #EPSC2026 here in Den Haag! Looking forward the #3I/Atlas keynote today, plus I will be presenting some @[email protected] related-work in the small body dynamics session SB12 later, and I also have another talk Thurs. Gonna be a busy week! #PlanetSci

  9. When 4 "Coincidences" Stop Being Coincidences

    A 5.6km object is heading toward Jupiter with four characteristics that break the rules:

    🎯 Targeting precision - Arriving at the exact gravitational boundary used for orbital insertion (1 in 25,000 odds)

    ⚖️ Impossible density - Would need to be lighter than cotton candy while staying intact (physics violation) (or hollow)

    🔬 Industrial chemistry - Spectral signature matches refined aerospace alloys, not space ice

    🎮 Active control - Jets that defy rotational physics without stabilization systems

    Combined probability: <1 in 100,000
    But that is just a number, let's visualise 1:100000;

    3I/ATLAS arriving at Jupiter's Hill sphere boundary after a course correction is like watching five cars in a row all have license plates ending in 777 - while they're all driving to the same address - and they all arrived exactly on time.

    Or

    Three spins of a Roulette Wheel landing on the same number.

    March 2026 Jupiter encounter = the moment of truth.
    My prediction: Something totally anomalous will happen which will either be under-reported or, totally ignored or misrepresented. Can't wait!

    And in a new paper NASA documents how it shut down ("contingency mode") it's TESS probe just when it could have gathered precise data about #3iAtlas (arxiv.org/abs/2601.21569)
