  • A new image of 3I/Atlas raises eyebrows

    A new image of 3I/Atlas raises eyebrows

    The photo appears to show a plume of some kind of material on one side, along with emissions  off the opposite side. 

    Cue Harvard scientist, Avi Loeb.. he believes these images of the  mysterious interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS could be additional evidence of  a type of jet engine or propulsion system on board an alien spacecraft.  In recent weeks, the object has captivated scientists’ attentions and peoples’ imaginations on what exactly this thing moving through our solar system is.

    And as new imagery has become available, Loeb continues to express concern that this object, which should near Earth in mid-December, may not be a comet but rather an alien spacecraft instead.

    MORE..

    In his blog on Medium, with new imagery in hand, Loeb writes, “The image shows two anti-tail jets out to 10 arcminutes towards the Sun accompanied by a longer collimated jet, extending away from the Sun out to an angular separation of 30 arcminutes, roughly the diameter of the Sun or the Moon. At the current distance of 3I/ATLAS from Earth, 326 million kilometers, these angular extents correspond to spatial sizes of 0.95 million kilometers for the sunward anti-tail jets and 2.85 million kilometers for the tail jet away from the Sun. This enormous spatial scale is three orders of magnitude larger than the scale of the glowing halo around 3I/ATLAS in the Hubble Space Telescope image from July 21, 2025.”..

    Avi Loeb is back — at this point he’s basically our best friend in the UFO world. In his latest review of the 3I/ATLAS comet, he indicates that the newest photographs show evidence of thrusters. Yes, thrusters. And there are even claims that additional “ships” may have separated from a so-called “main mothership.”

    On the surface, it all sounds like pure science fiction. Total fantasy. But here we are in 2025. We’ve all lived through enough strangeness to know that nothing is off the table anymore. And the thing about Loeb is — he actually backs this with data.

    Loeb writes in his blog

    “Given that a large number of jets appear in many directions, the reported non-gravitational acceleration of 3I/ATLAS requires much more than 10–20% of its initial mass to have been ejected near perihelion. Only a fraction of that mass carries an excess momentum in a preferred direction. This means that the cloud of debris around 3I/ATLAS must represent a substantial fraction of its initial mass for a natural comet. However, technological thrusters could give the object a boost with much less mass jetted out at a higher speed.”

    He then asks the simple but massive question:

    “Is the network of jets associated with pockets of ice on the surface of a natural cometary nucleus, or are they coming from a set of jet thrusters used for navigation of a spacecraft?”

    And the answer Loeb gives?

    “We do not know.”

    3I/ATLAS is expected to make its closest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025.

    Stacked telescope images reportedly show a “large glowing halo extending out to half a million kilometers” with at least seven distinct jet structures. That’s not typical comet behavior. That’s weird behavior. According to Loeb — Harvard astrophysicist, not random guy on Reddit — this thing is acting unlike anything we’ve documented before.

    I’m not sure if the world is paying attention. We are. And a handful of scientists and space-watchers are. But this feels like a much bigger deal than it’s being treated as.

    Even if 3I/ATLAS turns out to be a completely natural comet, the oddities alone suggest something rare — something we don’t commonly see in our solar system. That alone is exciting, possibly even paradigm-shifting.

    But if Loeb is right… and if these jets are not natural outgassing… and if this object is maneuvering…

    Well, then we’re looking at something even more profound.

    A lot of people have laughed at Loeb over the past few years. Some still are. But the more images that come in, the less funny this comet looks. There’s something off about it. Something that doesn’t fit.

    Alien spacecraft? Let’s not go that far yet.

    But weird?
    Yes.
    Deeply, undeniably weird.

    And sometimes weird is where everything starts.

  • Tom Brady and his inflated clones

    Tom Brady and his inflated clones

    Tom Brady and his ex-wife shared a dog named Lua. The dog passed away back in December 2023, and we all know the heartache that comes when, quite frankly, a member of the family dies. But what many of us don’t have that Tom Brady does is the financial ability to do something extraordinary — and in this case, controversial. He was able to use, most likely, tens of thousands of dollars to, well… bring his dog back.

    Brady shared the news on Tuesday, Nov. 4, alongside an announcement from Colossal Biosciences, a biotech company he’s invested in — and the same company that cloned his beloved Lua.

    The reaction has been mixed. On one hand, many of us have wished we could bring back a pet we loved deeply. On the other hand, most of us grieve and move on because that’s life. Tom Brady, ever the headline magnet, decided to cross that line. And that brings up ethical questions. Moral questions. Scientific what-ifs. And honestly… it also has a bit of a creepy undertone to it.

    Now, this isn’t Pet Sematary, and Lua didn’t claw her way back to the land of the living. This was done through modern science and technology. But still — there’s something here that feels uncanny. Like humanity stepping into a space we’re not fully prepared for yet.

    And listen Maybe we’re just old school here, but it just feels kind of icky…?

  • First-ever collisions of oxygen at the Large Hadron Collider

    First-ever collisions of oxygen at the Large Hadron Collider

    Well, get ready for some Mandela effects over the next couple of days, right? Or so the conspiracy theorists would speculate…

    From 29 June to 9 July, the LHC will switch to special operations: two days of proton–oxygen ion collisions, followed by—additional firsts—two days of oxygen–oxygen collisions and one day of neon–neon collisions, with several days of machine set-up and commissioning in between.

    This campaign will cover a wide range of research, from the study of cosmic rays to the strong force and quark–gluon plasma, and the LHC experiments are already looking forward to a great harvest of new data.

  • Well, This Is Weird: Earth Might Have Its Shortest Day Ever This Summer?

    Well, This Is Weird: Earth Might Have Its Shortest Day Ever This Summer?

    File this under “things you don’t think about until they start messing with satellites.”

    It turns out that sometime this summer, we could experience the shortest day ever recorded—not because of daylight savings, not because of anything human-made, but because Earth itself might spin just a little bit faster.

    Graham Jones, an astrophysicist at the University of London, says our planet’s rotation is expected to noticeably speed up on one of three potential dates: July 9, July 22, or August 5. How much faster? Just a smidge—specifically, 1.30, 1.38, or 1.51 milliseconds shorter than usual. Barely a blink, and definitely nothing your body clock would notice.

    But to the ultra-precise world of GPS systems, satellites, and timekeeping infrastructure, even that tiny tweak matters.

    What’s behind the spin-up? That’s the strange part—scientists aren’t exactly sure. Earth has had minor fluctuations in rotation for as long as the earth existed, but starting around 2020, researchers began noticing that days were subtly getting shorter, more often.

    The effects—if any—on daily life will likely be nonexistent. But still, it’s one of those reminders that this planet we call home is alive in its own way. Shifting. Spinning. And occasionally doing something none of us saw coming.

    So yeah, this summer may feature the shortest day on record. Not that you’ll notice… unless your GPS suddenly does..

    ‘Dark Oxygen’ in depths of Pacific Ocean prompts new theories on life’s origins

    This is an amazing story..

    Scientists have discovered that metallic nodules on the seafloor produce their own oxygen in the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean. These polymetallic nodules, generating electricity like AA batteries, challenge the belief that only photosynthetic organisms create oxygen, potentially altering our understanding of how life began on Earth.

  • Who’s this brood? The great 2024 Cicada Invasion

    Who’s this brood? The great 2024 Cicada Invasion

    Get ready! It may not be as scary as giant flying spiders but it’s scary due to the number: Trillions..

    Experts are warning that 2024 will be seeing something that only the likes of Thomas Jefferson last witnessed: A massive cicada invasion as broods wake up from their long slumber.

    We are about to see something that President Thomas Jefferson saw.. Billions if not trillions of cicadas are about to swarm the United States East Coast..

    MORE.. The last time Broods XIX and XIII co-emerged, Thomas Jefferson was president, and the Louisiana Purchase was being finalized.

    The is pretty wild–things will get visually wilder as we head into later April and May when this entire event will begin to take place …

    We went back in time and found some old newspaper snippets from the year 1800–then when these cicadas were circulating. At that time, the vernacular was to largely call them locusts. The papers in 1800 referred back to 1715 to compare what was about to be seen .. At that time, in 1715, this is how the locust invasion was described: “In the month of May a peculiar kind of grasshopper or flies, called by the English locusts, iffued up from the earth.” It was like a horror movie was being described.

    Oh and in case you were wondering, of COURSE there was a horror movie about cicadas called… drumroll: CICADA. Maybe it will be some good b-movie viewing during the real invasion.

    Just as long as you are safely watching with your windows closed and cracks of your doors sealed shut..

  • Signs of life on a distant planet 120 light years from Earth

    Signs of life on a distant planet 120 light years from Earth

    CNN:

    Waters may be flowing on the surface of a colossal planet that lies about 120 light-years from Earth, according to new evidence uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.

    The investigation with the space-based observatory, one of the most advanced astronomy instruments in operation, revealed that the exoplanet K2-18b may have some key features of a planet that could support bodies of water — and life.

    Closely orbiting the cool dwarf star K2-18, the exoplanet lies within the star’s habitable, or Goldilocks, zone and is 8.6 times as massive as Earth. An analysis of Webb’s observations found the planet has abundant methane and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.

    The presence of these carbon-bearing molecules, along with a scarcity of ammonia, could indicate an atmosphere rich with hydrogen that surrounds an ocean world, according to a NASA news release.

    Carbon is considered the building block of life-forms on Earth.

    The Hubble Space Telescope initially spotted evidence of water vapor in the exoplanet’s atmosphere. The finding, described in a September 2019 study, helped scientists home in on K2-18b for further study.

    The Webb telescope, which can detect infrared light invisible to the human eye, searched for exactly what elements are featured in the planet’s atmosphere.

    And the latest observations of the planet also hint that a very special molecule, called dimethyl sulfide, could be present on K2-18b.

  • Scientists may be on brink of discovering fifth force of nature!

    Scientists may be on brink of discovering fifth force of nature!

    Dr Mitesh Patel, from Imperial College London, said: “We’re talking about a fifth force because we can’t necessarily explain the behaviour [in these experiments] with the four we know about.”

    The data comes from experiments at the Fermilab US particle accelerator facility, which explored how subatomic particles called muons – similar to electrons but about 200 times heavier – move in a magnetic field.

    Patel says the muons behave a bit like a child’s spinning top, in rotating around the axis of the magnetic field. However, as the muons move, they wobble. The frequency of that wobble can be predicted by the standard model.
