Subaru Telescope Images Intact 3I/ATLAS Tail; Loeb Analyzes Dust Loss

The Subaru Telescope recently captured clear images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with its tail intact. Simultaneously, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has detailed the comet's significant dust mass loss, identifying anomalies in particle size. This highlights ongoing scientific debate regarding the unique interstellar visitor.

• Subaru Telescope images confirm 3I/ATLAS's intact tail on December 13, 2025.
• Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS made its closest Earth approach on December 19, 2025.
• Professor Avi Loeb analyzes 3I/ATLAS's significant and anomalous dust mass loss.
• Loeb's research suggests larger-than-typical dust particles dominate the anti-tail glow.
• 3I/ATLAS is the third confirmed interstellar object observed in our solar system.
• Scientists continue to monitor 3I/ATLAS as it exits the solar system in early 2026.
