3I/ATLAS: The Snapshot That Breaks the Model

3I/ATLAS: The 20 Minute Composite Just Exposed a New Layer of Weird

A 20-minute exposure of 3I/ATLAS just revealed something impossible. Instead of the chaotic blur expected from a rotating comet, we're seeing perfect geometric symmetry—a star-shaped core surrounded by a plasma halo that defies natural physics. While NASA released disappointing fuzzy images, amateur astronomers captured stunning detail showing organized emissions, collimated jets that shouldn't exist on spinning objects, and a missing tail despite losing 13% of its mass. With 12 documented anomalies stacking up, Congressional pressure mounting for withheld HiRISE data, and the December 19th closest approach rapidly approaching, this interstellar visitor is forcing us to ask uncomfortable questions. Join us for a deep dive into the latest observations, the data NASA won't release, and why Harvard's Avi Loeb believes 3I/ATLAS might not be natural at all. The final observation window is closing—and what we're seeing challenges everything we thought we knew about comets.
