3I ATLAS Update (October 23) — Facts, Claims, and Strange New Images

Interstellar comet 3I ATLAS is now closing in on the Sun — and what’s unfolding around it is one of the strangest stories in space right now. ☄️ Here’s what’s verified: ✅ ESA’s ExoMars and Mars Express spacecraft just captured the comet as it passed roughly 30 million km from Mars, showing a bright coma and the first signs of a forming tail. ✅ NASA’s Swift Observatory measured 3I ATLAS losing 40 kg of water per second, like a cosmic firehose. ✅ It’s currently about 360 million km from Earth, in the constellation Virgo, and will reach perihelion (closest to the Sun) on October 29, 2025. ✅ It’s only the third interstellar comet ever discovered, and it’s likely older than our Solar System itself. But here’s where things get strange 👁️‍🗨️ 📸 @DobsonianPower shared enhanced solar-telescope images showing what appears to be a perfectly round object where a light streak should be. ⚡ @Stefan_Burns claims that because of its current position, “3I ATLAS is about to be hit by the strongest solar storm in billions of years.” 🤫 And during all of this, NASA has been silent — allegedly because of the ongoing U.S. government shutdown — which many find… interesting timing. So what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and what’s still unknown? In this episode, we separate verified data from viral claims — exploring the science behind 3I ATLAS, the solar-storm rumors, the mysterious new images, and the curious quiet from official sources. #3IATLAS #ESA #NASA #InterstellarComet #SolarStorm #SpaceUpdate #AstronomyTok #HallucinationHippies #UAPCommunity #SpaceMystery #CosmicUpdate #CometWatch #ScienceExplained
