Event Horizon with John Michael Godier @eventhorizonshow.bsky.social · Jul 24

These observations may tell us whether interstellar objects like ʻOumuamua, Borisov, and 3I/ATLAS are rare—or common?

This may be our best shot at studying an interstellar object before it escapes.

What’s remarkable is the coordination: Rubin, Hubble, and other ground-based observatories are tracking this object as it speeds across the solar system.

The first time we've had such advanced instruments observing an interstellar object.

New data is already changing what we thought we knew about this mysterious object.

John had a long discussion with Darryl Seligman, one of the leading researchers in this space.

Darryl gives us the most up to date scientific information on observations of 3I/ATLAS.

Unlike ʻOumuamua, which we only caught once it was on it's way out of the solar system.

We now have telescopes like Vera Rubin and Hubble pointed at 3I/ATLAS in real time.

A new interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, has entered our solar system.

It’s only the third confirmed visitor from another star.

But this time, we’re ready.

5) This is just one of the interesting parts of Godier's 2-hour interview, linked below. I expect some other parts to engender much discussion, including an exchange about of a document of uncertain origin describing "an operations plan for contact with alien beings."
