We need SDF-1

It’s a practice run for armageddon.

With 3I/ATLAS just days away from making its closest approach to Earth, agencies around the globe are conducting the largest and most extensive planetary defense drill — with the goal of protecting ourselves against future threats from beyond.

“This is an excellent opportunity for observers around the world to practice tracking where a comet is in the sky, should a hazardous comet to Earth ever be found,” NASA representatives told the Post. They cited the fact that we’ve been able to monitor the cosmic interloper for such a long time.

The trial run, which was launched on November 27 and runs through January 2026, was launched by the International Asteroid Warning Network, a worldwide coalition of space experts, including NASA, the European Space Agency and more than 23 different nations.

Their mission is to detect and monitor potentially hazardous asteroids and Near-Earth Objects to assess their potential impacts to our planet.

Thankfully, there is currently no threat of deep impact from 3I/ATLAS — it will pass within 170 million miles of Earth on December 19 before continuing on its journey though the cosmos.

Meanwhile, NASA has maintained that the interstellar entity is a comet and not of artificial or extraterrestrial origin, as Harvard scientist Avi Loeb repeatedly speculated, citing unconventional characteristics such as its non-gravitational acceleration, anti-tail, and bizarre jets — which he believed could be a form of technological thrusters.

Nonetheless, experts believe it’s paramount to monitor our intergalactic visitor to form a blueprint for tracking other potential hazards from deep space.

“Hazards originating in space carry the risk of sudden disaster and potentially derailing everyday life, from natural threats like asteroids and solar storms to the human-made one of space debris,” the ESA said in a statement. “ESA’s Space Safety Programme is dedicated to making sure we can detect, predict and mitigate these space hazards in time.”

In accordance, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) and its HiRISE camera have joined the campaign to keep tabs on ATLAS as it streaks through the cosmos.

Meanwhile, the ESA, which recently approved a record budget of nearly $30 billion last month, has also been honing its forecast by tracking the celestial snowball’s position by analyzing data by terrestrial telescopes in Hawaii, Chile, and Australia.

These were pooled with observations from the Mars Express, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, and Juice probes in space.

By doing so, they’ve managed to triangulate the comet’s trajectory. However, NASA reps told the Post that “comet observations are challenging for planetary defense purposes because they appear as fuzzy extended objects compared to point-like asteroids in a telescope’s field of view.”

Meanwhile, the ESA boasts two secret weapons in the defense efforts against intergalactic hazards, including Meerkat, a 24/7 “automated imminent impactor warning system” whose “primary function is to detect and assess NEOs that pose an immediate likelihood of impacting Earth, typically within the next 30 days.

The other, Aegis, crunches data — orbits of asteroids and comets etc — to predict risks far into the future, often over the next 100 years.

However, the agencies stressed the need to devise a way to knock the asteroids off their collision course once identified as a threat. In 2022, NASA’s 2022 Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft knocked an asteroid called Dimorphos off course by ramming it at high speed.

Astrophysicist Avi Loeb has emphasized the importance of bolstering our planetary defenses.

“Most of the real estate is actually out there in the Milky Way galaxy and not on the rock that we all occupy,” he previously told the Post. “Once we realize that there is a neighbor out there that has alien technology, then we might decide at the very least to allocate some portion of the military budgets that we use for the defense of individual nations to use it for the defense of the entire planet.”

He suggested installing a “planetary defense network” comprised of an array of spaceships that can monitor and even intercept technological objects bound for Earth.

I stopped at the mentioning fellon musk.

Why on alert? Aint NASA said it is just a comet?

Could be a comet launched by an alien starship

Which religion will the aliens endorsed?

Comet.. Launched from a starship..
Owait.. Kopitiam 😂

After comet landed, see behind got made in china or not

Malaysia got join or not ?

2022 they rammed an asteroid at high speed? Sure or not?

Stop dreaming.

ET is coming TS??

Search for this on google and watch the animation

double asteroid redirection test (dart) mission

Maybe the world needs a common enemy so everyone can be peaceful again

So it was just a test? Thought they meant they really did alter an asteroid trajectory headed for Earth

If this one truly alien, their probe enough to tapao whatever defenses we can put up

I wanna zhut zhut Bruce Willis dotter

its a test that alter the asteroid path.


On Sept. 11, 2022, engineers at a flight control center in Turin, Italy, sent a radio signal into deep space. Its destination was NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft, which was flying toward an asteroid more than 5 million miles away.

The message prompted the spacecraft to execute a series of pre-programmed commands that caused a small, shoebox-sized satellite contributed by the Italian Space Agency (ASI), called LICIACube, to detach from DART.

Fifteen days later, when DART’s journey ended in an intentional head-on collision with near-Earth asteroid Dimorphos, LICIACube flew past the asteroid to snap a series of photos, providing researchers with the only on-site observations of the world’s first demonstration of an asteroid deflection.

After analyzing LICIACube’s images, NASA and ASI scientists report on Aug. 21 in the Planetary Science Journal that an estimated 35.3 million pounds (16 million kilograms) of dust and rocks spewed from the asteroid as a result of the crash, refining previous estimates that were based on data from ground and space-based observations.

While the debris shed from the asteroid amounted to less than 0.5% of its total mass, it was still 30,000 times greater than the mass of the spacecraft. The impact of the debris on Dimorphos’ trajectory was dramatic: shortly after the collision, the DART team determined that the flying rubble gave Dimorphos a shove several times stronger than the hit from the spacecraft itself.
