🚨ASTEROID SOARS PAST EARTH AT 266 MILES, SECOND-CLOSEST APPROACH EVER RECORDED Asteroid 2025 TF whizzed past Earth last Tuesday at roughly 266 miles above Antarctica, about the same altitude as the International Space Station. European Space Agency: "This is one of the closest approaches ever recorded." The asteroid was 3 to 10 feet across and first spotted by the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona. ESA's Planetary Defence Office tracked it using a telescope in Australia. ESA: "Objects of this size pose no significant danger. They can produce fireballs if they strike Earth's atmosphere, and may result in the discovery of small meteorites on the ground." The closest non-impacting asteroid on record remains 2020 VT4, which passed just 230 miles above the ocean near French Polynesia in November 2020. It's only a matter of time before one of these close calls gets too close. Source: New York Post, European Space Agency
Here's what some selective editors left out of my Q&A with TPUSA students over Israel's US lobbying, AIPAC, and the USS Liberty.
#3IATLAS Absorbing Plasma from the Sun? Does anyone remember the strange event from a few years ago when a massive spherical object appeared to hover near the Sun’s surface? It seemed to be drawing plasma from the Sun possibly to refuel itself. That theory would make sense if such objects are powered by nuclear fusion. This observation led me to think about 3IATLAS and its unusual forward facing tail something almost unheard of among known celestial bodies. What if this tail is not a result of outgassing but rather a stream of plasma being pulled in from the Sun? Perhaps 3IATLAS approached the Sun intentionally to refuel. This might also explain the enormous coronal mass ejection that struck 3IATLAS directly. The flare was powerful enough to disrupt other comets nearby both SWAN and Lemmon lost their tails completely and had their orbits altered. Yet 3IATLAS remained unaffected. No change in brightness no loss of its strange forward facing tail. It’s as if the interstellar object absorbed the energy instead of being damaged by it
