All day Astronomy @forallcurious - Scientist says 3I/ATLAS has 'real physical jet' just days before Earth approach
"The rotational-gradient brightness map shows a prominent anti-tail, uncommon for comets, pointing in the direction of the Sun.
"Whereas an anti-tail had been seen for solar system comets as a temporary perspective effect when the Earth crossed the comets’ orbital plane, this is clearly not the case with 3I/ATLAS."
In a recent blog post, he added: "The anti-tail of 3I/ATLAS is therefore not a perspective effect. It is a real physical jet, with a glow extending from 3I/ATLAS towards the Sun.
"Its nature is a mystery because gas and micrometer-dust particles are expected to be pushed away from the Sun by solar radiation pressure and the solar wind, creating the appearance of a tail — as routinely seen in solar-system comets."
He added: "Analysis of the latest Hubble image could potentially favor one of these explanations. By recognizing anomalies, we can learn something new. By ignoring them, we remain ignorant."

Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee - The disgraceful statement from Australia PM never mentioned it was jihadist attack on Jews on first day of Hanukkah. Hope he’s ashamed of antisemitic statements past year.
