🔭 I wonder if someone can capture the jets of 3I/Atlas rotating... Even if it might be difficult
#astronomy #space
ITSSULKINGTIME@sulkyblueball.bsky.social
🔭☄️Notably, one of Loeb's "anomalies" of 3I/Atlas is that it's jets are collimated and unsmeared by its 16 hour spin Yet Hale-Bopp also exhibited a similar phenomenon of collimated jets despite it's faster 11 hour spin

🔭 or "Why are there no stars in the moon landing photos".
While cometary science is more complex than inertia and photographic exposure, this isn't an excuse, especially for Loeb who could easily learn about comets, but refuses the plausible science and answers and opts for the outlandish ones

🔭 The problem with Loeb is that he "ignores" all the nuances and details about the appearance of comet jets, and doesn't even look up the relevant comet science literature at all
It's classic personal incredulity seen in conspiracy theorists like: "Why can't I feel the earth spin"

🔭 In reality, Hale-Bopp did have smeared jets. But they were much fainter and appeared alongside the collimated jets
(wirtanen.astro.umd.edu/46…)
This article lists the nuances of coma morphology and why smeared jets can be hard to capture (Filters, spin axis, geometry, nuclei sources)

AR4294 and AR4296 are slowly turning away from us, towards the western limb.
Sky was not perfect, high and low clouds. Couldn't get enough frames for better signal-noise ratio.

I was late getting application submitted, so our Astronomer 🔭 panel is waitlisted for @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social, but we’re still 100% excited to attend and see all the other awesome stuff! You coming to #ECCC2026?!?

Sobering reminder of why good #scicomm is important and "what's the harm" in promoting wild ideas?

Some have argued to me strongly that even if Loeb is wrong, he’s getting people interested in 3I/ATLAS and that’s a good thing for science. But Loeb isn't just wrong, he's recklessly following an old playbook that got 39 people killed in 1997. sites.psu.edu/astrowright/...

I have been ignoring the 3I/ATLAS "debate" but it certainly looks like it's taken a concerning turn. 🔭

You can get my books for the space themed folks (deeply affectionate) in your life! Or maybe you are the space themed folk, in which case you can get them for yourself.
Milky Way: footnote jokes, 45 pgs of citations & silly line drawings.
40 Ways: beautiful diagrams on every page. 🧪🔭📚

This is an inverted view, the filaments look 3D and the prominences are more, uh, prominent. #astrophotography

Thank you!
Exactly: Einstein’s “crazy idea” from 1916 is now our best zoom lens for the baby Universe.
With #JWST + these natural cosmic telescopes we’re literally watching the first galaxies switch on the lights.🔭
Mind-blowing how a century-old theory keeps opening new windows to the past! 🧪
Leonardo Petrillo@92sciencemusic.bsky.social
Your explanation is very clear and interesting. It's very fascinating to have the possibility of observing, by exploiting a particular effect related to general relativity, galaxies that come from the early Universe. Science allows us to do things that were previously thought unimaginable!

Did you catch NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's recent moment on Jeopardy?
We’ve now reached the “appearing in trivia clues” phase of our evolution 🤩 Perfect timing as our team wraps up the last few months of prep for the 10-year survey! 🔭🧪

#astronomy #astrophotography #lightpollution #telescopes
I'm selling off some of my scope gear and was just looking up info on my Solar filter. I came across this explanation why Orion Telescopes went out of business.
One reason was "Light Pollution". I'll add STARLINK to that also. Tragic. 😢
