The Maven ship and 3I/Atlas

The image shown is the most beautiful of the interstellar object 3I/Atlas and was taken by an amateur; There we can see the anti-tail, which would be what is on the left, the tail, which would be longer, waved by the solar wind, this photo was taken from the southern hemisphere, from Africa, southern Africa, from Namibia on December 2 and as you can see it has a green glow and lately, apparently these days, it is changing to red.

The Maven spacecraft is an orbiter that has been orbiting Mars for 11 years, it has been circling Mars for a long time and sending us a lot of information about the Martian atmosphere, it is specialized in studying the Martian atmosphere and knowing what happened to it, for example, with the water on Mars in the past and provides valuable information about the climate of Mars and how much atmospheric gas it loses, because an essential element if one day we want to terraform Mars or have colonies created on Mars one day.


The Maven ship was one of the ships that was going to take images of 3I/Atlas when passing near Mars, it was not the only one, there was another NASA ship, the European Space Agency ship and the Chinese ship, that was on October 3 and weeks ago it published the images, the disconnection of this Ship was on December 6, it had already published the images a long time ago and they can be consulted on the NASA website.


On December 6, the ship entered behind the red planet, it was going to take about 25 to 35 minutes of disconnection, just before entering behind the red planet it had sent the normal telemetry data, everything was normal, but after those 25 - 35 minutes on Earth the signal that the ship had left was not received, at this time we do not know what happened to the ship, but 3I/Atlás has nothing to do with it.




3I/Atlas has many other anomalies, it is an amazing object, no one can deny it, maybe some like at NASA because it gives the attitude or gives the impression At NASA it seems that they are in the tone that it is "a comet like those in the solar system, circulate, nothing happens here" and that is not the case, it is an extraordinary and unique object, I do not want to say that there are not going to be more interstellar objects, surely next year we will discover two or three more because we have more powerful observatories, but of this size it is going to be very difficult, it is estimated that it is at least 5 km in diameter, it may have more and it will be very very difficult for another one to pass by.


The color of 3I/Atlas is another of the great anomalies and that it is now shining in reddish tones, initially it shone in reddish tones, then it changed to green tones, later when it left perihelion, that is, the closest point of its orbit to the sun, it went to blue tones and then to green and now it seems that they are in a reddish tone mixed with green, it is not completely reddish at the moment, although it would not be surprising if it ended as soon as it cooled down a little more, because now it is very hot, it came out of the “solar oven”, it is warm and when it cools a little more it would be normal for it to begin to shine again in reddish tones. The green color is due to diatomic carbon molecules in the comet's coma, the coma is the bubble that surrounds the object, let's expect more anomalies from this object.
