3I\/ATLAS is the third ever interstellar object (ISO) to be recorded since 1I\/Oumuamua (2017) and 2I\/Borisov (2019). The exocomet has baffled scientists, stargazers, and sapiens from all walks of life, usually found on social media.<\/p>\n

While there is an abundance of misinformation, which also includes AI-manipulated media with sensational spin for engagement farming, there\u2019s no dearth of real research and speculative studies based on data. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb is in a minority few who have enlisted at least 13 anomalies on 3I\/ATLAS so far that may indicate the exocomet may be more than just a billion-year-old galactic icy rock hurled our way.<\/p>\n

Several observatories and stargazers are glued up, tracking the interstellar interloper, including the Tuscany (Italy)-based The Virtual Telescope Project that deploys robotic scopes to observe the unearthly objects that evade the human eye.<\/p>\n

In its latest finding, the observatory found fresh fragmentation in the bizarre comet. Releasing a snapshot of the same, The Virtual Telescope Project stated<\/p>\n

we see a new fragment just in front of the brightest component, with hints of a possible second one (or a cloud of debris) just after the latter.<\/p>\n

Regarding the technical details of the annotated image above, the project remarked<\/p>\n

The image above comes from the sigma-clipping combination of 12, 60-second unfiltered exposures, remotely taken with the Celestron C14+Paramount ME+SBIG ST-10XME<\/a> robotic unit available as part of the Virtual Telescope Project in Manciano, Italy.<\/p>\n
