Sep 1, 2025 #3iatlas #earth #astronomy The latest visual light observations of 3I/ATLAS by Gemini South on August 27th 2025 show the this interstellar object, which before bizarrely didn’t have any sort of cometary tail, has now quickly grown one, all the while increasing dramatically in size since it was first observed! The carbon dioxide coma of 3I/ATLAS is already estimated to be approximately 700,000 km in diameter, half the diameter of the Sun at 1392,000 km, and it’s going to keep growing as increasing photoionization from the Sun and ionization from the solar wind supercharges up this unusual interstellar object which appears to be a comet but also has simply too many strange characteristics and coincidences to write off.
