Comet 3I/ATLAS Latest Update: Wobbling Jets in a Rare Sun-Facing Tail, NASA’s Multi-Mission Watch, and What Happens Next
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS—also known by its comet designation C/2025 N1 (ATLAS)—is already on its way out of our solar system. But in the final weeks of 2025, it’s still delivering surprises: a rare “anti-tail” that appears to point toward the Sun, jets that wobble with a clock-like rhythm, and a fresh wave of results from some of humanity’s most sensitive searches for unusual signals.
3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object ever observed passing through our celestial neighborhood—after ‘Oumuamua (2017) and 2I/Borisov (2019)—and it’s giving scientists an unprecedented chance to study material forged around another star.
