إن هذه الصورة المميزة للكوميت 3I/ATLAS تمثل مزيجًا من 24 تعرضاً فردياً، تم التقاط كل منها لمدة 60 ثانية باستخدام تلسكوب Celestron EdgeHD 800 بقطر 0.2 متر في نيو مكسيكو. كان نافذة الملاحظة تتراوح من الساعة 11:53 إلى الساعة 12:23 بالتوقيت العالمي الموحّد يوم 16 نوفمبر 2025، مما كشف عن النشاط الديناميكي للكوميت من خلال عدة أنابيب مرئية. هذه الانبعاثات تمتد نحو الشمس وعكسها، مع اتجاه الاتجاه نحو الشمس نحو الزاوية السفلية اليسرى للإطار.

Why does it have a green shimmering aura?
I’ve witnessed my star go supernova several times from that interloper.
I’m really curious about the anti-tail; it’s hauntingly fascinating.
Despite billions in funding, this is the result we receive.
Composite images often look so artificial that I worry my perception of reality would be diminished if I called this the best. I find amateur astronomy images more appealing.
This image is not as impressive as the one captured 3.2234 billion years ago in the 93-8334-A8292192 star system.
Did you recall the image captured in the 36-5395-BV45C star system?
Lovely! I’m glad to see the Edge HD 8 capturing it so well. That gives me more confidence for observing 3I in December.
This is an incredible image captured by a powerful telescope.
“Best” according to whom? It’s a nice picture of an alien spaceship, but I’m not sure it’s the best I’ve ever seen.
It’s a comet.
While that’s always been the most likely outcome, I still enjoy imagining what could have been.
The pink halo around it gives it an otherworldly appearance.
Here’s my simple image captured through my 8″ SCT using my iPhone’s long exposure setting. I could just barely make out the comet visually through the eyepiece.
I can picture you smiling when you spotted it on the equipment.
