New Developments:
- The Hubble Space Telescope captured something unusual.
- Three evenly spaced jets — not random, not chaotic — emerging symmetrically from the nucleus of 3I/ATLAS.
- Now, the debate is no longer whether the object is active — it’s whether its behavior is natural, engineered, or misunderstood.
[USA HERALD] – In a newly published analysis, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb and Italian observer Toni Scarmato examined high-resolution images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope between November 30 and December 27, 2025.
Using a specialized image-processing method known as the Larson–Sekanina rotational-gradient filter, they removed the circular glow around the nucleus of 3I/ATLAS. What remained was stark:
- Three close-in jets spaced roughly 120 degrees apart
- A large sunward anti-tail on a broader scale
- Periodic “wobbling” behavior in the jet orientation
The most prominent jet oscillates with a period of approximately 7.2 hours. The total brightness of the object varies with a nearly identical 7.136-hour rhythm and swings by about 30 percent.
That synchronization is what has drawn attention.
Here’s what Loeb’s team is saying:
