Pisano, D. J. Smirnov, O. M. Ivchenko, M. et al. Further MeerKAT observations of 1665/1667 MHz OH in absorption and emission, and a technosignature search in 3I/ATLAS ATel #17499, 18 Nov 2025; 10:33 UT
No technosignature was found. Got it? NO TECHNOSIGNATURE FOUND.
What was observed was a safe perihelion passage. Despite coming ‘near’ the Sun (as close as it will ever get- still farther than Earth is from the Sun), 3I did not shed major chunks, split into two, or crumble entirely. The ‘tail’ of 3I (not that it’s a real showy comet) is about as expected.
