Object 3I/ATLAS may be partially destroyed today by solar plasma impact
Today, this afternoon, according to calculations, the 3I/ATLAS object will be struck by one of the largest plasma clouds in Solar Cycle 25 (https://t.me/lpixras/1660), ejected by the Sun toward the comet on the night of October 21-22. There is a high probability that this will be the first such test in the life of a celestial body, with consequences that are not fully understood.
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will likely remain invisible from Earth until at least mid-November.
The interstellar wanderer 3I/ATLAS remains invisible to Earth. In the second half of September, the comet approached the Sun so closely that it was completely obscured by its rays. Currently, the object is projected onto the sky at a minimal distance from the solar disk and is effectively a daytime, rather than a nighttime, object: it is located in the sky near the Sun during daylight hours.
The ejected plasma cloud will hit the 3I/ATLAS object in 2 days.
The plasma cloud ejected by today's explosion is estimated to be pointed precisely (within 10-20 degrees) in the direction of 3I/ATLAS, which is currently passing on the opposite side of the Sun with a slight shift to the northwest.
