3I/ATLAS Go Show for Us: Na Heartbeat Dem Dey Find?

City, Country: Harvard, USA

Omo, wetin we go dey hear now? As 3I/ATLAS dey waka like celebrity for space, Harvard scientist, Avi Loeb don drop some juicy gist wey fit change wetin we sabi about this cosmic visitor. The man talk say dis interstellar object get wetin e go fit call ‘heartbeat’—like when person dey jolly with palm wine and dem dey feel am for chest.

According to Loeb, after dem discover 3I/ATLAS for July, e dey blink light every 16.16 hours. Na like lighthouse for sea, e dey shine dey call us, ‘Bros, come look me!’ (Imagine sey dem dey try build fans base for space, abi?)

But wetin make dis heartbeat pulse levels matter? Well, e fit mean say dis object no be just comet, e fit get some advanced technology wey dey control am. Loeb dey suspect say if na naija style, e fit don collect small small upgrade from aliens for space. Abeg, we never see anything like this before—comet wey get pulse?

Loeb explain say the pulsations fit come from gas and dust wey dey scatter sunlight around 3I/ATLAS as e dey move. He dey talk about e like blood wey dey flow for body. If you follow am well, if 3I/ATLAS dey push out material like jet, the coma surrounding am go dey shine and dim in sync, abi na Morse code dem dey use talk to us?

The man don also suggest say if dis thing no be comet like dem dey claim, den e fit be say na artificial object wey dey maneuver around like say dem dey use thrusters (who sabi wetin extraterrestrials go fit do?). But sha, NASA still dey chill dey call am comet. E be like sey dem never gree to believe wetin Loeb dey talk.

As we dey waka close to December 19, wen dem go come dey pass closer to Earth—170 million miles no be small distance, oh—astronomers dey plan to study dis thing dey enjoy dey shine like diamond. Maybe dem go find out say na real extraterrestrial technology wey dey happen.

Avi Loeb go dey sharp like razor, watching for any signal wey dey link radio waves with di pulsing jets. If dem two dey do am in sync, e fit mean say we don finally catch extraterrestrial object wey no be just comet at all, but something wey get ijebu wisdom inside!

In this life, we fit never know what 3I/ATLAS actually be, but one thing be say, dis waka go dey interesting. Who knows, maybe one day, dem go come do collaboration with our naija padi dem for NASA, we go all become astronauts!
