Using the #SeeStar S50 to capture interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS right now and I'm definitely capturing it. It's this blurry line right here.

Multiple minutes of photo data capture have been combined in the image, causing the blurry line to show as the comet moves. The blurry line lines up with the expected position and motion relative to the stars of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas.

The brightest star in the image is "HIP 50792 - HD 89848 - SAO 118260" based on the databases I have loaded in Stellarium.

Sicuramente insolita la cometa 3I/ATLAS, per diversi motivi (ben spiegati nell'articolo del National Geographic). Purtroppo l'idea dell'astronave aliena - per quanto attraente - è difficilmente sostenibile dal punto di vista scientifico.

Ma non c'è bisogno di ipotizzare improbabili visite aliene per meravigliarsi di quanto ancora c'è da capire su questa e altre comete. Di quanti messaggi ci portino, se osserviamo la natura e la direzione della sua coda, ad esempio. La sua stessa origine è tutt'altro che chiara, ma misteri affascinanti da indagare non mancano certo (come la presenza di ioni metallici nella coda).

Emozionante, anche senza alieni a bordo. Ma chissà che - in passato o nel futuro - non la osservino pure loro, la cometa…
