But Avi said there was like a 60% chance it was aliens coming to kill us all? And he’s a Hahvahhd astronomer, so are the rest of us dummies SURE about this?

I was so hoping that he was right this time.

Yes, but that left a 40% chance it’s a comet. He’s not an idiot!

Doesn't that image support his idea that it is internally luminated? Look at the bright yellow core!

No, ask anybody who actually works on comets.

/sarcasm

Sorry - Poe’s law you know…

I mean look at the color - clearly the aliens released a flare!

Yeah, like a sodium signaling flare… to… attract MOAR ALIENS!!!

I mean there could be no other explanation (until there is another story in the news to somehow glom on to with the comet aliens)

Well, I wouldn’t worry too much about much about it. I mean, I don’t think any of us would be expected to hold our own against a modern day reincarnation of Galileo.

😂

I don't know, man, seems like it almost has too many features of a comet, like, suspiciously so...

Yeah, the aliens are trying just a little too hard.

Clearly, the aliens are enjoying some carbonated beverages.

That or they are exhaling, to the tune of 20 million strong.

It's all from dry ice, which is needed to keep the fudgsicles frozen.

Weirdly made of dry-ice.

It's to keep all the fudgsicles frozen.

I don’t want to post on arXiv until I have really good evidence, but my working hypothesis is that 3I/Atlas is a massive transport of fugdsicles.

Noice

It is not...

(ALI SCREAMING INTENSIFY)

Surely it must have to vent the byproducts of metabolism.

Dare you to post it!
