Newly discovered comet C/2025 V1 (Borisov), which has some minor similarities to 3I/ATLAS, will make its closest approach to Earth on Tuesday (Nov. 11). However, despite recent rumors, the two objects are not related to one another. |

Date: November 10th, 2025 1:51 PM Author: indigo native How can an object be "nearly interstellar"? It comes down to its orbit. C/2025 V1 is slightly unusual, given its high eccentricity, meaning that it is traveling toward the sun along a very straight trajectory. This is similar to, although not as extreme as, the trajectory of 3I/ATLAS — and is the main reason for the latest comparisons, Loeb wrote. Like in some recent photos of 3I/ATLAS, the new comet also appears to be missing its tail, he added. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795733&forum_id=2/#49417532) |

Date: November 10th, 2025 1:53 PM Author: indigo native As for 3I/ATLAS, the alien comet has now reappeared from its short stint behind the sun, having reached perihelion on Oct. 29. This solar flyby was notable for several other reasons, including an unexpected brightening event and a temporary color change. It has now started its journey back out of the solar system and will reach its closest point to Earth on Dec. 19.
The ISO has displayed a number of other anomalous characteristics, including a highly irradiated surface and a puzzling anti-tail. |
