Now that 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1) has been confirmed as the third known interstellar object, I’d love to follow its journey closely.

Where might a gentleman of discriminating intellect procure reliable, rigorous, and non-hysterical updates on this object?

https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-appropriations.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/fy26-commerce%2C-justice%2C-science%2C-and-related-agencies-bill-text.pdf

We have now seen three NASA science funding levels:

White House PBR of $3.9 billion (massive cut)
House CJS budget of $6 billion (smaller cut)
Senate proposal of $7.1 billion (no cut)

Overall NASA funding is basically flat in this House draft, but increases to exploration (SLS/Orion/Gateway/HLS) are offset by the cuts to science.

This draft also ends all funding for NASA STEM engagement, something the Trump admin tried to do from 2017-2020 as well.

Its 663 AU. I used the inverse square law for radiation. Then I factored in Stephenson, with L over 1 AU ^ 2. Rewritten for D gives us, after much simplification, approximately 663 AU. That's about 99 Billion KM and about 16x further than Pluto to equal the amount of energy we get from the sun per 1 AU.
