An astrophysical teacher from Harvard claims that a mysterious object, cataloged by NASA as a comet, would actually be an aliens-mother ship “Ostila”.
The ship, considered hostile, approaches the land, says the photo archive teacher
NASA detected at the beginning of July an interstellar body of several miles diameter, which crosses our solar system with 37 miles per second and which it called 3i/Atlas. Most astronomers believe that this is a harmless comet, although a few researchers also explore more unusual assumptions.
In a research work, Professor Avi Loeb and his colleagues, Adam Crowl and Adam Hibberd, from Initiatives For Interstellar Studies in London, advance a detailed theory of who or what this intergalactic visitor could be, writes Daily Mail.
They speculate that, far from being a comet, the object could be a huge parent ship from a distant planet, equipped with a much more advanced technology than ours.
Loeb and his associates have identified eight anomalies related to 3i/Atlas, to support their unusual theory, including the size, trajectory and behavior. The researchers insisted that each anomaly, taken separately, is extremely rare from a statistical point of view and that, put together, it suggests that an unknown intelligence controls the object towards us.
“A meeting with an interstellar extraterrestrial technology is an unseen meeting of astronomical proportions”said Prof. Loeb for the Daily Mail. “You do not know what you will face, because our imagination is limited by the experience on Earth.”
What are the anomalies identified by the astrophysician
The first refers to the lack “Tails”. Comets are propelled by gravity space and solar radiation. The latter transforms the ice from the surface of the comet into gas, and together with the dust transported, it forms a visible tail.
Loeb says it is “Puzzled” that the object had “A significant non -gravitational acceleration” without having such a tail. He also anxious his orbit “demote” unusual around the sun (ie moves against the usual flow of the solar system).
This could be, he says, “A defensive maneuver” of extraterrestrial pilots to make it more difficult to intercept the ship by rockets launched from the ground.
The trajectory of 3i/Atlas also means that it will pass relatively close to Venus, Mars and Jupiter – a unlikely probable coincidence, but, he observes, perfect to spy on the other planets in our solar system, as a kind of extraterrestrial agent.
He also emphasizes that 3i/Atlas will reach the “periheliul” – the point closest to the sun – on the opposite side of the sun towards the earth.
This, says Loeb, “It could be intended to avoid detailed observations from telescopes on Earth.”. Could, he warns, allow the secret launch of “Wells” or other “Devices” For invasion or infiltration – or even the change of direction to visit the land, reaching a little warning, possibly even at the end of November.
Some critics, although I agree with him that scientists should be less skeptical about exterior life research, accuse Loeb of selecting the convenient data to support their argument.
Last days, NASA published an image made by the Hubble Space Telescope, which he described straight “The clearest image ever made” of 3i/atlas.
However, the image is unclear (which is not surprising, considering that it shows something 277 million miles away), but NASA claims that it suggests that the object is a comet, because it seems to have a “tear -shaped dust” from its solid and frozen core.
However, Professor Loeb remains firm: there is still no clear evidence that the object has a specificity of a comet specific. The verdict is not yet given, he insists.
Other researchers are skeptical
In the long term, Loeb claims that we should treat all the interstellar objects that enter the solar system as possible extraterrestrial creations. He believes that governments should collaborate through an international body.
Most of his colleagues believe, however, that 3i/Atlas is, in fact, a comet. They believe that it has wandered through space for billions of years, accelerated by the “catapult effect” of the countless stars. Its current speed, 130,000 mph, is the fastest comet ever, says NASA.
Some astronomers are disturbed that Loeb, in their opinion, “Betray” The scientific community entering the field of SF. Astronome Chris Lintott, from Oxford University, says it is debit “Nonsense”.
Loeb says we will have a much clearer idea of what is exactly 3i/atlas when it can be observed – possibly by the end of this month – by the James Webb space telescope.
