3I/ATLAS Changes Course Again? "Ezekiel's Wheel" Type Structure Revealed, New Hubble Images Released

Описание: New images of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, taken through 170 second exposures with the WFC3 UVIS (F350LP) camera of the Hubble Space Telescope at a central wavelength of 0.5851 micron on December 12 and 27, 2025, were released here. They reveal a double-jet structure. The more prominent jet is an anti-tail directed towards the Sun.

A sunward jet which is 10 times longer than it is wide was already captured in the Hubble image taken on July 21, 2025 (as reported here and analyzed here). Its 7-degree wobble around the rotation axis of 3I/ATLAS (as reported here) implied that it originated near the Sun-facing pole long before perihelion. The gravitational deflection of 3I/ATLAS by the Sun during perihelion on October 29, 2025, was only by 16 degrees, as I calculated here. If the rotation axis did not change orientation between July and December 2025, the original Sun-facing pole is now on the nightside of 3I/ATLAS — opposite to the direction of the Sun. It points in the same direction as the weaker jet in the new Hubble images from December 12 and 27, 2025, and is accompanied by a stronger sunward jet from the opposite side of 3I/ATLAS on its way out of the solar system.

Officially designated C/2025 N1, 3I/ATLAS was discovered on 1 July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network in Chile. Its hyperbolic orbit confirms that it originated from outside the solar system, making it only the third interstellar object observed after 'Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

In late December 2025, astronomers observed that 3I/ATLAS had deviated from its predicted path. The comet, only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, continues to 'surprise us,' researchers stated in a report, highlighting the challenges of forecasting its behaviour. The deviation was confirmed as observatories like Gemini North captured new images of the comet after it reemerged from behind the Sun.
