Now, 3I\/ATLAS has emerged from the other side of the Sun, back into the morning sky and new images show its tail is getting longer.<\/p>\n
Gianluca Masi, of the Virtual Telescope Project<\/a>, has been capturing images of the re-emerged 3I\/ATLAS as of early and mid November, and they provide a valuable insight into what sort of condition the comet is in now.<\/p>\n Masi and the Virtual Telescope Project are gearing up to host a live stream of 3I\/ATLAS on 17 November 2025, which you can watch via the embed below:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On 6 November 2025, Masi captured the below image, just after the comet re-emerged into the morning sky.<\/p>\n Because the image was taken during almost-full Moon, Masi acknowledged the detail he was still able to achieve with the setup, despite the lunar glare.<\/p>\n “An extremely bright (almost full) Moon was setting,” he says, “with the target just 10 degrees above the eastern horizon.”<\/p>\n Masi then captured the below image of 3I\/ATLAS on 10 November 2025, with conditions somewhat improved.<\/p>\n “The comet was 12 degrees above the eastern horizon, with a bright Moon about 85 degrees from it,” he wrote via the Virtual Telescope Project blog.<\/p>\n “Despite that, we clearly detected the ion tail of 3I\/ATLAS, thanks to the evolving geometry.<\/p>\n “Now that the comet is moving into the morning sky, its tail \u2013 which was behind the nucleus as seen from Earth at perihelion \u2013 is more and more visible.”<\/p>\n Masi then took advantage of a gap in the clouds to capture 3I\/ATLAS the following morning, 11 November 2025.<\/p>\n He notes the ion tail of the comet is getting longer as heat from the Sun causes its ices to sublimate into gas, venting out into space.<\/p>\n “We could see the ion tail of 3I\/ATLAS spanning at least 0.7 degrees, in the northeast direction, as well as an anti-tail pointing east-southeast.”<\/p>\n This interstellar comet continues to amaze.<\/p>\n If you’d like to see it for yourself, keep up-to-date with where it is and how to locate it via our blog How to see comet 3I\/ATLAS<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Comet](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3i-atlas-06-november-2025.jpg\")
