The next steps of Comet 3I/Atlas
The interesting thing about this moment and it is key when it comes to knowing if 3IAtlas is a natural object and if it is going to behave as such, at this moment is when it is closest to the sun it will travel at its maximum speed, if everything goes as planned, its exit route from the solar system will end up leaving us, from the solar system after another 8000 years.
3IAtlas has taken 8000 years to get from the border of the solar system to where it is now and at this moment is when it goes fastest, when it is at its perihelion passing close to the sun, then it will initially leave on its exit route.
If everything goes as planned at this moment, Tres in its perihelion reaches the maximum speed of its trajectory, then, on November 3 it will pass 97 million kilometers from Venus, on December 19 it will pass 269 million km from Earth, a more than safe distance and on March 16, 2026 it will already pass 54 million kilometers from Jupiter, which is why Avi Loeb at the time proposed sending the Juno spacecraft that was in Jupiter to meet According to 3IAtlas, it would not arrive either because it would remain about 27 or 26 million km away due to lack of fuel, but the Juno spacecraft is equipped with cameras and instruments to capture enough data about this object.
You know, it approached Mars on October 3 at just under 30 million km and we are still waiting for the images from the NASA orbiter, the Chinese orbiter and the orbiter ship that the United Arab Emirates have.
Almost everyone says that it is a comet, there are a few that say that it could be something a little more rare, a planetesimal, something very primitive and that originated in a planetary system that was forming a long time ago, this detail for me is quite interesting because it would be a planetary system that was formed, according to the data they are giving about the age of between 7,000 and 10,000 million years ago.
A planetary system of which 3IAtlas would be a remnant that was launched, but if 3IAtlas contains basic elements for the formation of life, it would indicate that this planetary system had at least the ingredients for life to form in it 7,000 or 10,000 million years ago, the solar system is 4,500 million years old, so we would have proof that life could arise on other planets, billions of years before what arose in the Earth, and that also means billions of years of evolution for any form of life that would have arisen on those worlds.
I have already said it, a huge opportunity to study it better was lost.
