BACKGROUND:
On the 9th of October 2025 NASA’s Maven Mars Orbiter was able to photograph 3I/Atlas. In an article published on Sky&Telescope on the 15th of December 2025 it is reported that Maven, since December 6th, has become unresponsive possibly due to an unexpected orbit change and/or spinning motion.
ANALYSIS:
As I’ve shown in previous 3I/Atlas replated posts, Perseverance Rover photographed around nine anomalies in the Martin sky on the 3rd and 4th of October 2025 as 3I/Atlas was passing Mars. In a related post thereafter I presented possible evidence that 3I/Atlas may have been photographed with similar anomalies in the space around it.
Could 3I/Atlas be ejecting smaller pieces, deploying probes or might smaller objects be accompanying 3I/Atlas?
Did one of these unexpected visitors strike Maven or interfere with its orbit around Mars?
As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these anomalies might be.

DISCLAIMER:
Many or all of the anomalies/artefacts covered in this presentation may be naturally occurring geological features caused by some type of geological processes, however due to the lack of specific information from the source we can only speculate whether these are all natural or some artificial in nature.
In cases where I say an anomaly looks like something I’m attempting to clarify what I see and not specifically that the anomaly is what I say it looks like.
My intention is only to share anomalies I’ve discovered on Mars and not to convince anyone that there is or was a civilization on Mars.
