I finally completed this video while traveling for work and wanted to share it with you before the next observing window opens.
In this video, I revisit Comet 3I/ATLAS using images I personally captured. What stood out to me were the colors, the jets, and the apparent motion seen after the comet passed perihelion and moved closer to Earth.
This is not a claim of technology or propulsion.
It’s an observational discussion about how ionized gas, plasma jets, and solar wind interaction can influence how a comet looks and behaves as it travels through the inner solar system.
We didn’t witness 3I/ATLAS at perihelion because it was behind the Sun. What we see instead is how it evolved afterward—after passing Mars—when it became brighter and more visible from Earth.
I also briefly touch on:
Plasma and ionized gas in comets
Solar wind interaction
Perspective effects like ion tails and apparent “anti-tails”
How modern observations (including X-ray data from space missions) study these interactions
As always, this video is based on my own images, paired with publicly available scientific research, which I’ve linked below so you can explore further on your own.
Thank you for your patience these last few days—I’ve been traveling for work, and regular uploads will resume.
Clear skies 🙏
