So this is getting bigger.
Maybe it isnt a cloud of dust like everyone is alluding too.
They are talking about pushing Juno - The sattalite that is orbiting Jupiter right now, towards 3I Atlas.

"Things are heating up"
Saying this "comet" Is already interacting with the Suns Magnetic field.
This is nuts.
It will increase solar activity
They say its approxmitly the size of "Manhattan"
quote:
The size of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is not precisely known, with recent estimates suggesting a diameter of around 6 to 12 miles (10 to 20 km), but it could be smaller, possibly 0.3 to 3.5 miles (0.5 to 5.6 km) or even just hundreds of meters. The variability in estimates is due to ongoing observations and the object's hidden solid core, which is obscured by a dusty coma.

AI Overview
NASA: What We Know About Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
3I/ATLAS is traveling into the inner solar system at approximately 61 kilometers per second (km/s), or about 135,000 miles per hour (mph), relative to the Sun. Its speed is so high that it is not gravitationally bound to the Sun and is on a one-way journey out of the solar system.
Key facts about 3I/ATLAS's speed:
Discovery: Discovered by the ATLAS survey telescope on July 1, 2025.
Speed: ~61 km/s or ~135,000 mph.
Significance: This high velocity indicates it was ejected from its parent star system with significant kinetic energy and will never return.
Orbit: It is on a hyperbolic orbit, a trajectory that is not bound to a star, meaning it will escape the Sun's gravity and continue into interstellar space.

Anyone following this ?
To be following it I would have to be farther out in space, relative to Earth.

I'm going with the whale probe from "Star Trek IV."

Not a comet, doesn't have a tail or almost any characteristics if a comet. 40% chance if it being manufactured last I saw on the Loeb scale. He have high definition pictures of it that should have been taken by multiple probes and satellites we have by Mars. They should release those next week.
It is just weird

Apparently nobody learned their lesson with Omawuma or whatever it was called. These same things were being said all over the internet along with some "look at these sketchy blurry photos as proof!" youtube and reddit amateur astronomers claiming its something it wasnt.
The *real* astronomers aren't alarmed or sending out these clickbait headlines because its pretty obvious what it truly is. A rare event yes, but clearly a piece of rock that's been ejected from its original solar system out into the depths of space. It happens pretty regularly

Some are saying it’s an optical illusion etc. as predicted
