China’s Mars Orbiter Just Captured 3I/ATLAS — Older Than Our Solar System

China’s Tianwen-1 just captured the closest images ever of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS — and what they show has scientists baffled. After shedding 13% of its mass (about 4 BILLION tons) near the Sun, 3I/ATLAS should have a giant tail. Instead: no tail, no debris. Where did the mass go? And that’s only 1 of 10 anomalies breaking every comet rule: Ecliptic-aligned trajectory (about 0.2 percent odds) Sunward jet that defies expectations About 1000× more massive than prior interstellar visitors Perfectly timed passes of Mars, Venus, and Jupiter during observations More nickel than iron (industrial-like ratio) About 4 percent water (atypically low) Unprecedented polarization signature Aligned with the 1977 “Wow!” signal direction Record-fast brightening No tail despite massive mass loss Each one is unlikely. All ten together? Less than one in ten thousand. We’re not saying it’s artificial — but something very strange just crossed our Solar System.
