Ok, astronomy experts, level with me on this, but isn't the assertion that 3i ATLAS coming in within 5 degrees of our ecliptic plane, actually completely reasonable and NOT WEIRD at all?
Considering it has, in theory, been orbiting around our galactic center for several billion years, the exact same as our own solar system?
Thus, the same long term galactic orbital forces that influence our solar system's planar angle, have ALSO been acting on 3i ATLAS, for potentially even longer than on our own solar system?
So the correct way to look at this situation would be more like, wow, or ecliptic plane is ALMOST the same as 3i ATLAS! Rather than the other way around? And both viewpoints are equally mundane?

Astro experts, am I right, and Avi Loeb is a crackpot? Yes/No?

For real, I don't get why people are parroting this guy, like this is "special data". It's fucking expected behavior, desu.

>Avi Loeb is a crackpot
Yes. Ofc that means he gets regular threads on /sci/ because OP's are idiots or trolling.

protip: planet Earth is probably surrounded by extraterrestrial ships. you can't see them because they don't want you to see them. this is not new. various UFOs disappear out of nowhere. they have the tech

The plane of the solar system is included with respect to the Galaxy, if that is what you are asking. By about 60 degrees.

The previous extrasolar comet (Borisov) came in about 45 degrees inclined.

Avi is the Jew who cried Alien. He's going to be right this time but no one will believe him until it's too late and all the goyim are dead

>Avi is the Jew
thats alll we need to know, that he cant be trusted with a sack of dog shit

>earth is surrounded by space niggers
its also infested with real niggers too
>>
>>16807130
This boards is infested with anti-vaxxers schizos and vatnig shills.

>>16807117
we're only now discovering these objects so we don't know what angle is rare. the expectation is that the distribution will be somewhat random but with some bias with enough objects detected

oy vey they are against the (((vaxx))) and our boyo in Kiev!

idiots

If you read his papers it becomes clear he's an ironic shitposter.
Unfortunately ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

There was a backyard telescope enthusiast that captured a pic of 3i atlas and it looks weird! But now his picture is nowhere and I can’t find the guy anywhere. Can’t remember his name. Anyone know what I’m talkin about? If you do, can you post the pic

>>16807117
Highly eccentric orbits including open "orbits" tend to be out of plane.
>>
>>16807117
All orbital plane inclinations are equal likely for these alien probes.
Space is full 360° surround sights and sounds.

All matter in the universe is on a disk according to angular momentun conservation

Loeb's own colleagues talk mad shit on him when he's not in the room lmao
