What is 3I/Atlas? HiRISE camera aboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter can be used to reveal its true nature

Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has warned that there will come a day when humans will escape to space to ensure their survival. He said in an interview that a major catastrophe will force them to build a "Noah's Ark" to escape death and tragedy and start afresh in space. &nbsp;The scientist also warned humans against assuming that they are the most intelligent civilisation in the universe. In an interview he shared on his blog, Loeb talked about how "humans are good at maintaining their ignorance by avoiding the collection of contradicting facts". He called out those scientists who do not believe in exploring "virgin territories", and says this is why humans will "fail to discover architectural constructions by extraterrestrial intelligence." Loeb is fascinated with extraterrestial life and says humans are only acquainted with the "real estate" on Earth, even though there is "much more real estate on objects in outer space."Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/is-3i-atlas-not-alone-scientist-says-invisible-probe-may-be-racing-ahead-and-could-strike-mars-1756785567924">Is 3I/ATLAS not alone?

He basically believes that there is a lot out there in interstellar space that humans are not aware of, waiting to be explored. However, for that to happen, they will need to keep an open mind and believe that alien life is possible. He seems to be referring to doubts raised over his claims that 3I/Atlas, the interstellar object racing towards the inner solar system, could be an alien spaceship. Earlier, he had stated that if aliens ever came to Earth and saw humans dismissing that they could exist, they would instantly put Earthlings at the bottom of the intelligence table in the cosmos.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/asteroid-2025-qd8-hurtling-towards-earth-will-come-eerily-close-this-week-does-it-pose-a-threat-1756887051367">Asteroid 2025 QD8 hurtling towards Earth will come eerily close this week.

This is when they will build something akin to Noah's Ark. It would not float on water, but fly in space to ensure the survival of the species. What could kill all humans? According to Loeb, it could be any global catastrophe, such as climate change, AI, an asteroid strike or even alien technology. &nbsp;

Humans are at risk of going extinct, either from climate change, AI, asteroid impact or a comet, and may be even aliens, according to a scientist. When this day comes, they will need to build a “Noah's Ark” for space to ensure we live on.

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS unexpectedly brightened up even before it was officially observed. NASA's TESS spotted it in May, two months before Atlas. Within a month, its brightness shot up five times. Scientists say this is not common with comets. Could this be another anomaly?

What is 3I/ATLAS up to? NASA detects sinister anomaly in interstellar object in precovery data

3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object, and a scientist has claimed it is not a natural space rock, but an alien spaceship sent by advanced beings. He has listed several reasons for it that are based on his observations, and those made by NASA 

3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object, and a scientist has claimed it is not a natural space rock, but an alien spaceship sent by advanced beings. He has listed several reasons for it that are based on his observations, and those made by NASA&nbsp;

LISTED! All the clues that point to 3I/ATLAS being an alien tech, not a comet

Interstellar object 3I/Atlas might be accompanied by a probe moving ahead of it, which can take a detour and enter Mars. Harvard scientist Avi Loeb has claimed that this strange object is not moving alone through our solar system. He says "a precursor mini-probe" can reach Mars when the "mothership" comes at its closest distance to "the complete path of Mars around the Sun." This will happen sometime in October, when the object will be only 2.7 million kilometres from the red planet. Loeb says this itself is a "remarkable fine-tuning" of the path, since, on October 3, it will be 29 million kilometres from Mars. This means that during its entire sojourn with the planet, it will reduce this distance considerably. He cites this extreme cut down in distance as another clue that points to 3I/Atlas not being a natural space rock. In fact, the way it is moving shows that something sinister is at play. How else do you explain closing the distance by such a huge margin?&nbsp;<h2>A secret invisible probe is travelling with 3I/Atlas, Loeb says</h2>This brings us to his more intriguing hypothesis that there is another body travelling with 3I/Atlas that we cannot see from Earth. The interstellar object is turning towards Mars to plant a probe on the planet. Loeb has calculated that if such a probe exists, then it is travelling ahead of the main body. But it is not moving in a straight line, and is on a sideways trajectory which would take it to Mars. If this is true, then this precursor probe can intercept Mars on October 3, 2025 or during the week before it. "If 3I/ATLAS is a technological object, this short MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) makes it easy for a precursor mini-probe to reach Mars," he wrote. So why haven't we seen it yet? Webb, Hubble, and no other telescopes have spotted a partner with 3I/Atlas. Loeb explains that this is because it is extremely tiny. He wrote in his blog that this object is likely smaller than a hundred meters, and near-Earth telescopes cannot detect the reflection of sunlight from such precursor objects.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/wake-up-call-for-humanity-scientist-wants-3i-atlas-to-be-alien-spaceship-here-s-why-1756095787834">'Wake-up call for humanity’: Scientist wants 3I/ATLAS to be alien spaceship — Here’s why</a>Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/harvard-scientist-calls-on-world-leaders-to-prepare-common-plan-on-alien-attack-1755064546960">3I/ATLAS and its 'intent': Harvard scientist calls on world leaders to prepare for an alien attack</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Loeb has a way to detect this secret friend that 3I/Atlas has. He suggests using the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to check for the probe that he thinks can be sent to Mars by the intelligent "alien" visitors. The window for this opens on October 3, when HiRISE will be able to image 3I/ATLAS with a resolution of 30 kilometres per pixel.

Interstellar object 3I/Atlas might not be alone. Scientist Avi Loeb has raised the possibility that a tiny invisible probe is moving ahead of it, which will take a detour in the coming weeks and crash into a planet. He has asked NASA to use existing technology to look for this probe.
