New Hubble images of interstellar object 3I/Atlas, taken on 22 January, reveal a complex system of jets and an unusually long anti-tail. The symmetric arrangement of the jets, spaced 120° apart, and their persistent behaviour over time, suggest a possible technological origin, though scientists emphasise the need for further data. The object’s rotation and the orientation of its axis also deviate from typical comet behaviour.
