¡El 3I Atlas está CAMBIANDO!😱

The Evolution of Comet Atlas

Initial Observations of Comet Atlas

• The first image captured of Comet 3 and Atlas was on November 9, shortly after its perihelion passage, revealing a faint blue ion tail.

• Following this moment, the comet developed a bright green coma and an increasingly long blue ion tail, along with a short and thin dust antitail.

Changes Over Time

• More than a month later, the appearance of Comet 3 and Atlas changed significantly; it appeared smaller and more distant.

• The once vibrant green coma transitioned to a yellowish hue, while the blue tail disappeared entirely, indicating subtle changes in its visibility.

• These transformations highlight how the comet's distance from Earth affects its activity and light reflection properties.
