Details:
My Processed displays of the November 30, 2025 image of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The left panel shows the original 7x270 second exposure, the middle panel shows the Unsharp Mask filter applied to the original image to sharpen its features, and the right panel shows the Larson-Sekanina filter for detecting rotational gradients in an image. The right-hand panel shows evidence for two jets with a clear anti-tail which is not common in familiar comets. The sunward direction is pointing towards the upper left corner. The image has 0.04 arcsecond per pixel and was taken by the instruments WFC3, UVIS2–2K2C-SUB Filter F350 LP. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, D. Jewitt (UCLA), M.-T.
