On the disintegration of the 3I/ATLAS object

Rumors are circulating about the fragmentation of comet 3I/ATLAS. The fragmentation has actually been detected in another object with a similar name—comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) (shown in the attached image). The onset of the fragmentation was apparently recorded as early as November 12-13. Incoming images show at least three large fragments, but with greater detail, smaller nuclei are likely discernible.

It should be noted that prior to this, in early November, the nucleus of comet C/2025 R2 SWAN (the sixth-brightest comet in the sky) disintegrated, and around the same time, the new comet Gennady Borisov, C/2025 V1 (Borisov), disintegrated. Against this backdrop, given the ease with which the Sun has recently been destroying everything that approaches it, the tireless Avi Loeb is already formulating new evidence for the existence of God's artificial nature in 3I/ATLAS, this time based on its exceptional robustness: the celestial body not only survived its close approach to the star, but also survived several direct impacts from solar plasma without significant consequences.

However, the Sun is still trying to crack this nut. Today, according to calculations, after a nearly month-long hiatus, 3I/ATLAS will be struck by a new plasma cloud ejected in its direction on November 17.
