I usually don't pay much attention to 3i Atlas updates anymore until I hear something from you Anton. Thank you for being a reasonable, reliable, and accurate source of information in a time of rampant misinformation. You're truly a wonderful person
Anton, thank you for talking about this object without going into the sensational like 99.9% of the other Youtubers do. That shows how professional you are, sir!
Comet, or not, it is pretty cool that we can actuually study an interstellar object that zooms in and out of our solar system so quickly. Repurposing our space probes to take a look reflects the skills of their designers and builders who never anticipated such a thing! Thanks, Anton!
Trust is not given, but earned. You Sir, have earned my trust over the years. Keep it up!
You're the only person I can trust on 3IAtlas. Thanks, Anton ❤
Real science. No ads. No bullshit. Thanks!
At last a reliable source on 3i atlas. Why didnt i think of just coming to antons channel amid so much misinformation spread by 100s of ai channels
Marvelous video. This is what science is - every answer raises more questions, and we keep learning. Thank you, wonderful person.
Your reporting about 3I/Atlas has been a sane breath of fresh air.
Anton... you are a good man. It makes me sad that charlatans get so much more attention than the facts.
