Скачать или смотреть The Shadow of 3i/ATLAS That Moves Backwards Against Light

This NASA-verified analysis explores a mysterious shadow anomaly detected around the interstellar object 3i/ATLAS. Observations from NASA and ESA instruments captured a backward-moving shadow pattern that contradicts expected photometric behavior. The effect appears when the object crosses specific illumination angles, challenging known models of reflectance and light-scattering physics. Researchers are now examining whether this paradox arises from composition, rotation, or an unknown optical mechanism.

• Source: NASA JPL trajectory logs and cross-verified optical data
• Instruments: JWST NIRCam, Hubble WFC3, ESA ground-based photometric arrays
• Finding: A reverse-direction shadow drift inconsistent with standard phase-angle scattering
• Highlight: Shadow vector persists even when illumination geometry changes

This anomaly raises significant questions about how interstellar bodies interact with solar radiation. It may indicate unfamiliar surface physics, complex rotation states, or non-standard material reflectance. Understanding this effect could reshape how astrophysicists interpret optical signatures from future interstellar visitors.
