And also, two weeks ago, I realized

The arrival direction of 3A Atlas was within nine degrees of the wow signal that was detected in 1977, which was an enigmatic, powerful radio signal that definitely came from outside of this earth.

We don't know from where.

It was coming from a source that was approaching the sun.

And the chance of it aligning with the arrival direction of 3I Atlas is 0.6%.

And I just said, well, that's interesting because 3I Atlas was at the distance of three light days from the Earth at that time.

And you just need about the output of a nuclear reactor on Earth, a gigawatt or so, to produce such a radio signal.

By the way, Voyager, as of now, is one light day away from Earth.

Just think about it.

One light day, the farthest spacecraft we ever launched,

is one light day away, and the size of the Milky Way galaxy, we are talking about tens of thousands of light years.

So one day out of tens of thousands of years, that's the difference between the distance that we managed to breach so far compared to another civilization that may have sent something to our backyard.

This is called an anti-tail when it's pointing towards the sun.

There were optical illusions in a situation where, you know, there is a tail which is pushed away from the sun by radiation and solar wind.

you're observing it as the Earth goes through the orbital plane of this object, of this comet, and you are seeing it from a perspective that it looks as if the tail is pointed at the sun, but in fact, it's just a perspective thing.

It's an optical illusion.

And there were cases like that.

That was seen, but as far as I know,

None seen in a situation where it's clear.

And in three-eye atlas, it was very far from the sun and earth, and we saw it towards the sun.
