Avi Loeb

Now, whether he's right or wrong, science needs more people willing to put their reputations on the line in pursuit of something important.

And I think Avi Loeb is one of those people.

But I leave it up to you to decide.

Until next time, be safe, be kind, and know that you are appreciated.

It's practically impossible for a natural object to do that.

So if we see new satellites around Jupiter after March 16th, then it would be a technological signature.

But there could be things parked in the solar system and every now and then they send a probe.

The minute we find evidence for alien technology, I think it will change our priorities.

Well, as long as my answers are as clear as the camera, I will be happy.

Right, so there are two important dates.

One is January 22nd, indeed, that the Earth will be in between the Sun and three atlas, and it aligns to within 0.69 degrees with the Earth-Sun axis.

That's an amazing alignment that potentially will allow us to see it much brighter because it's just like a full moon situation where the Sun illuminates the object you're looking at.

and you're looking at it from the direction of the sun.

So in addition, there is another effect that amplifies the amount of light from dust, for example.

And so January 22nd will give us an opportunity to learn much more about the nature of the jet.

that we see coming from three Atlas towards the sun.

And it will be pointed at us at that point.

And it will be interesting to watch out and see whether we learn something new about the origin of this jet, the physics behind it.

And then on March 16th, the object Triatlus will come closest to Jupiter, and that will be exactly the distance where Jupiter's gravity dominates over the Sun's gravity.

It's called the Hill Radius.
