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".

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!

"In a new paper published in Nature today, a team of scientists (led by Martin Cordiner from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) have shed fresh light on the comet’s origin. Their results reveal it to be a true galactic fossil, far older than the Solar System."

Technically still Halloween, the wee ones are in bed, clutching their tummies with dread, and we can talk about something really scary: The End Of The World! (insert spooky music here.)
Some say the #Hopi people have a legend that says when the Blue Star returns, it will bring about the 5th age, and end our current one. As #3iatlas was nearing the sun (and doing some weird stuff), it started glowing blue. The End is Nigh!
Or so some folks would like you to believe. Only, none of it is true. The "Hopi blue star" legend was started by a white dude in 1963. I would like to point out the sheer volume of indigenous culture white dudes in the 60s appropriated, modified, rewrote or completely invented.
This "rapture-esque legend" has no written or oral record before novelist Frank Water's Book of the Hopi.
So, despite our best and fervent wishes, I don't think we're going to get Giant Meteor 2025 to end this nonsense for us.

#BedtimeRoutine tonight starts with this awesome podcast analysis of & shifting the b.s. from the facts around #3Iatlas
with excellent arguments & critical questioning. plus it's ideal to wind down with..#GifsArtidote: fucking fascinating stuff happening up in our #galaxy. exciting times for #science, #humanity & me. i feel so fucking blessed & grateful to be alive in these insane times. woohoo! bring it on!
