Inner Planet Transits Across the Sun's Face

The article discusses the potential for observing Earth's atmospheric signatures during planetary transits, the possibility of interstellar objects like 3I/ATLAS acting as technological probes, and the significance of upcoming transits and interstellar object detections for understanding extraterrestrial life and technology. It highlights how transits could reveal biological and industrial signatures, and considers the implications of interstellar visitors aligned with Earth's ecliptic plane.

Astronomers Confirm Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Is Not Alien in Origin

Astronomers used the Green Bank Telescope to search interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS for signs of extraterrestrial technology but found no technosignatures, confirming it is a natural comet and not an alien spacecraft. The study highlights the importance of continued searches for interstellar objects that might harbor technological signals in the future.

Scientists Investigate 3I/ATLAS for Alien Signals and Space Phenomena

Scientists have scanned the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS for alien signals using the Green Bank Telescope but found no evidence of artificial radio emissions, supporting the idea that it is a natural comet. Despite ongoing investigations and some anomalies noted by Avi Loeb, current data suggest 3I/ATLAS is likely a natural icy body rather than an alien probe.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Exhibits Unusual Jet Activity and No Technosignatures

The article discusses whether the anti-tail jet of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, observed to extend towards the Sun, contains streaming gas beyond approximately 5,000 km from the nucleus. If 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet, the jet should be gas-free beyond this distance, consisting mainly of dust particles. The presence or absence of streaming gas at larger scales could help determine whether 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet or a man-made object, with potential observations suggested using various telescopes.

Hubble Images Reveal Wobbling Jets and Mysteries of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS

Hubble images from December 2025 reveal that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is emitting two stable, narrow jets in different directions, challenging simple explanations and suggesting complex internal activity or delayed heating effects as it exits the solar system, raising questions about its rotation, structure, and behavior beyond typical comet models.
