"3i Atlas!"
("Sitting On the Edge of the Ice Wall!")
The infamous 3i Atlas is a comet. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.
It was discovered on July 1, 2025, and the narrative is that it came really close to Earth last December. It was twice as far away as our Sun is to us, but that was considered close. I guess in their grand scheme of things, the interstellar comet was close, but I wouldn’t worry about it.
The narrative ended as soon as it began, I believe because people are becoming more aware of what is real and what is not. What matters and what does not. 170 million miles away from us couldn’t possibly make anyone nervous, and yet some people were. Perhaps some still are, if they’re still watching the fake news. Their job, it would seem after all, is to keep people on the edge of our seats at all times.
I remember when the narrative was that “the poles were shifting,” and some thought the Earth would soon be in turmoil, with earthquakes and volcanoes. People were instructed to consider living on higher ground, because the end was near! Others reported that they believed that it would be quite benign, and that we wouldn’t feel much. It was the year 2000. I was living in Nevada at the time, and an alternative news station told us that they had decided to stay put, in Pahrump, Nevada, and “ride it out!” I decided to do that, too. But guess what? There was nothing to ride out. It was just another fake news narrative about outer space.
But somehow they can tell exactly where this 3i Atlas comet came from. And its home was a much colder place than our galaxy. I wonder how they know that.
And it is composed of a lot of deuterium, which we know as “heavy hydrogen.” I guess they have ways of testing the composition of a hurling rock in space, hey just like they do with our planets and their moons, I would suspect.
It supposedly came real close to Jupiter just last month. Now it’s headed out into our solar system, where it will just fade away (until they need it next?)
It seems like NASA has squashed the 3i Atlas narrative at this point, as it is so irrelevant in the real grand scheme of things that it isn’t fooling anyone. Sort of like that “monkey pox” they tried to make us crazy about. Perhaps we should regularly take what NASA and the fake news dishes out, with a grain of salt.
