Description

Just over the last few days it appears that 3I/ATLAS is starting to change colors once more, going from green to gold, just as it moves from the constellation of Virgo to Leo. Will 3I/ATLAS break apart soon like Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS after it started to glow gold, and what does the color history of 3I/ATLAS perhaps tell us about its past?

If it returns to Blue glow as it passes us I'm going to live with the Hopi. 😊

The weather forecast for my area shows clear skies tonight, and if that holds I'll go out early in the morning and do my best to image 3I/ATLAS with my SeeStar S50 amongst the light pollution of my area.
