KEY OBSERVATIONS
The object remains organized where fragmentation is expected.
The energy appears sustained, not dissipating.
And the behavior does not fit cleanly into existing comet categories.
A new perspective reveals persistent structure and energy where decay should dominate.
[USA HERALD] – This image of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was captured on November 30, 2025, by the Hubble Space Telescope and later reprocessed by independent analyst Ammar A. of SpaceTracker using resolution-preserving techniques. The perspective differs from prior frames, offering a wider contextual view of the object’s inner coma, jet geometry, and surrounding dust environment. What it reveals is not disintegration, but persistence.
At the center of the frame, the nucleus remains intensely luminous and sharply bounded. Surrounding it is a pronounced blue ionized region, transitioning outward into a broad orange dust envelope. Critically, this transition is smooth and continuous rather than ragged or fractured. In classical comet models, prolonged exposure to solar radiation leads to structural weakening, surface collapse, and increasingly chaotic outgassing. That pattern is not evident here.
