What 3I/ATLAS Taught Us As Doomsday Asteroid Apophis Locks In a 2029 Earth Encounter

KEY OBSERVATIONS

• The data did not behave the way it was supposed to.
• The object changed in ways our models did not predict.
• And now another visitor is already on a collision-scale timetable.

An interstellar anomaly may be rewriting how prepared we really are.

[USA HERALD] – When I began reviewing the most recent processed image sets of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS—captured across multiple platforms and wavelengths—the first thing that stood out was not brightness or size, but motion. Subtle frame-to-frame deviations revealed acceleration patterns that could not be cleanly explained by solar heating alone. The pixel geometry told a story of directionality, of momentum being added rather than merely released. That matters now more than ever, because for the first time in years, we are staring down a known, dated encounter with a potentially hazardous near-Earth object.
