Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (aka C/2025 N1 ATLAS) on its way back to deep space – 30 Dec. 2025.
After many cloudy nights, we finally imaged the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS (aka C/2025 N1 ATLAS), which is now clearly fading as it recedes into deep space.
The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 9, 120-second exposures, remotely taken with the C14 + ST-10XME + Paramount ME robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project facility in Manciano, Italy.
The anti-tail, pointing to the Eastern direction, is well visible.
We will continue to monitor this exceptional object. See all our images of 3I/ATLAS here!
