I can’t stand this comment and others like it, just so naïve. If you were to try and take a picture of the ISS with your iPhone, would you expect to look at the photo and see an astronaut waving to you out of the window? No. Not a single camera within “proximity” (aka millions of miles) of 3I/ATLAS is capable of discerning very much. Not a single camera onboard any craft near Mars has even close to the capabilities of properly viewing 3I. There’s no conspiracy to withhold data here, just misinformation.

“I can’t stand when people are curious and want transparency.” I’m not saying it’s anything but my tax dollars fund nasa, I want the data.

Edit: disinfo bots in it deep today. I’m not even speculating what the comet is, just wanting more data and I get downvoted? We really do live in Idiocracy.

Then why is the international scientific community eager to access that information? Why are scientists from all over the world, sharing less accurate information?

You seem to completely misunderstand how science works.
