The conversation was dominated by the controversy about the mysterious interstellar visitor 3I/Atlas, now emerging from behind the Sun and about 204 million miles from the Earth, in the constellation Virgo. Best viewing location for this so-called "green comet" would be on the top of the new World Trade Center, but they are not open at 5 a.m., and do not allow telescopes and tripods.
