• New images show anti-tail of 3I/ATLAS measured at greater length than Earth-Moon distance (primetimer.com) — A telescope based in June Lake has helped capture striking new images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing a rare “anti-tail” that stretches farther than the distance from Earth to the Moon. Working alongside observatories in Italy and Thailand, the June Lake instrument recorded a long, green-blue tail pointing toward the Sun, giving local skywatchers a direct role in a cutting-edge international astronomy effort.
