3I/ATLAS Update: A Jet Appears in Raw, Unprocessed Images

New images of 3I/ATLAS just arrived, and this update pushes the story into new territory.

Fresh raw observations show a directional jet visible before any heavy processing. In unprocessed frames captured with ground-based telescopes, a compact central region is paired with a faint but clearly organized extension that doesn’t disappear when the data is left untouched.

That same structure holds up under deeper analysis. Multi-channel stacks from Italy reveal the feature persisting across red, green, and blue wavelengths, while time-series imaging from the U.S. tracks the object over hours with no sign of fragmentation or collapse. The core stays tight. The orientation stays fixed. The geometry refuses to smear out.

What matters most here is agreement. Different observers. Different telescopes. Different cameras. Different techniques. And yet the same directional behavior keeps showing up, whether the data is raw, stacked, or broken into individual channels.

As 3I/ATLAS moves through its closest Earth-encounter window this week, these images give us a clean baseline. If anything changes, we’ll know it’s real.

📚 Sources referenced in this video include:
• Raw ground-based imaging by Dobsonian Power
• Multi-channel stacked observations by Toni Scarmato (Italy)
• Long-duration time-series imaging by Ira Bell (California)
• Independent amateur observations used for structural comparison

What do you think these raw and multi-channel images are telling us?
