31 ATLAS UPDATE - October 24: 17 Active Comets, Planetary Defense Activation, and the IAWN 😳

Something unusual is happening inside our Solar System. ☄️ Seventeen comets are active right now…far more than normal, and astronomers have noticed a strange pattern: as the interstellar comet 3I ATLAS moves inward, the others seem to drift closer… then scatter when it moves away. Coincidence? Maybe. But the timing has a lot of people watching closely. At the same time, the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) has launched a new observation campaign to study 3I ATLAS between November 2025 and January 2026. That’s real…confirmed on their official site. But online, the campaign’s wording has fueled a much bigger rumor: that NASA quietly activated its planetary-defense system because of this comet. Here’s what’s actually happening 👇 ✅ ESA’s ExoMars and Mars Express orbiters captured 3I ATLAS as it passed 30 million km from Mars, showing a growing coma. ✅ NASA’s Swift Observatory measured it venting ~40 kg of water per second…an interstellar “firehose.” ✅ The comet reaches perihelion (closest to the Sun) on October 29, 2025. ✅ Meanwhile, the IAWN website reveals it’s also participating in a simulated asteroid-impact scenario for the 2025 Planetary Defense Conference. That exercise is fictional…a training drill run through NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, but its timing has been mistaken online for a live defense activation. Add in NASA’s silence during the U.S. government shutdown, and you’ve got the perfect storm for speculation: 17 active comets, a defense simulation, and a real interstellar visitor approaching the Sun. In this episode, I break down: • What’s verified vs what’s rumor 🚀 • How the IAWN & JPL simulation works 🛰️ • Why the “planetary defense activation” narrative spread 🌍 #3IATLAS #PlanetaryDefense #IAWN #NASA #ESA #SpaceUpdate #CometWatch #InterstellarComet #SpaceMystery #HallucinationHippies #AstronomyTok #UAPCommunity #CosmicUpdate #SpaceForce #alien
