Orientation of the Plume Around 3I/ATLAS in the HiRISE Image
Avi Loeb Medium 11/20/25
The newly released HiRISE image of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS available here, shows an extension of the glowing plume in the direction of motion ahead of 3I/ATLAS. It appears like there is something preceding the object that was previously confused with being in the direction of the Sun but is actually in the direction of motion. In previous images like the Hubble Space Telescope image here, the two directions were similar when 3I/ATLAS was heading towards the Sun from far away."
"It is easy to explain a plume of gas and dust extended towards the Sun as a result of the illumination of pockets of ice by sunlight or away from the Sun as a result of radiation pressure or the solar wind. It is also possible to explain a trailing stream that the object leaves behind as the drag on the solar wind slows it down relative to the object. But it is much more difficult to account for a plume extended perpendicular to the direction of the Sun and ahead of the object. The scale of the extension in the HiRISE image is ~3,000 km
(It's not difficult to explain at all.
It defys the laws of physics.)
"At the typical thermal speed of volatiles which sublimate from the surface of a natural comet, it takes only a day to cross that distance...or clearing the path from any hazardous micrometeorites that may cause damage..."
"For now, we can only hope that the mysteries of 3I/ATLAS will be cleared by data in the next few weeks when large ground-based telescopes as well as the Hubble and Webb telescopes will be able to characterize the jets of 3I/ATLAS by measuring their composition, speed and mass loading rate..."
(Forget the jets!
Why are we focused on them
all the sudden?
Use the
"large ground-based telescopes
as well as the Hubble and Webb telescopes"
To get the nucleus size,
composition and geometry
since NASA obviously
doesn't want it known.
And keep in mind
what me and Honey said
back in July:

Avi Loeb on NASA’s "Live Event" about 3I/ATLAS
(This is exactly what we (me and honey) said would happen in July. As it gets closer and closer there are to many people who will be able to see it (amateur astronomer or not) and they wont be able to hide what it is, where it's going, and what it's going to do anymore. There is a reason NASA doesn't want people to know the size of the nucleolus and it's not just the size itself, it's what you could determine if you knew the nucleus size, shape and composition, the trajectory etc.)
