3I/ATLAS Released Mini Objects - Avi Loeb Has The Evidence | Calm Science

On November 19th, NASA released stunning images of 3I/ATLAS—but what they revealed has astronomers divided. The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is showing twelve documented anomalies that challenge everything we know about comets. From the mysterious X-pattern jets discovered on November 20th to the impossible anti-tail defying physics, 3I/ATLAS continues to baffle scientists worldwide.

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has identified unprecedented features: sideways jets extending one million kilometers, sustained mass loss of 50 billion tons per month, and a trajectory aligned with planetary orbits with only 0.2% probability. The MeerKAT radio telescope found no signals, yet the object's behavior raises profound questions about its origin.

With 3I/ATLAS reaching closest approach to Earth on December 19th, 2025, the next few weeks will be critical. Will high-resolution spectroscopy reveal natural cometary activity, or will we discover something that changes our understanding of the cosmos forever? This comprehensive analysis covers the latest developments, NASA's controversial silence during the government shutdown, and what the December observations might reveal about this enigmatic visitor from beyond our solar system.
