Anti-Sun Jets in ESA’s JANUS Image of 3I/ATLAS from November 6, 2025

TL;DR


Summary:
- The article discusses the observation of "anti-sun jets" in an image of the asteroid 3I/Atlas taken by the European Space Agency's Janus spacecraft on November 6, 2025.
- These anti-sun jets are unusual features that appear to be ejecting material away from the Sun, rather than the typical outgassing that occurs in the direction of the Sun.
- The author, Avi Loeb, a respected astrophysicist, suggests that these anti-sun jets could provide insights into the composition and structure of the asteroid, as well as the physical processes occurring on its surface.
