Recent images of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS taken after its perihelion show a lack of a visible cometary tail despite signs of significant mass loss and non-gravitational acceleration, raising questions about its nature and composition, with comparisons to typical comets like Lemmon.
New photos of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS suggest it may be turning bright green due to increased proximity to the sun, possibly caused by the release of rare chemicals like diatomic carbon or cyanide, but confirmation is pending as observations continue.
Recent observations of 3I/ATLAS show no visible tail or gas signatures, suggesting it may not be a typical comet. Its characteristics, such as reddening colors and trajectory, continue to fuel debate about its nature, with some considering the possibility of it being alien technology. Ongoing monitoring and future missions, like probing with the Juno spacecraft, are crucial to understanding this interstellar visitor.
