Comet 3I ATLAS – Why Is It FLICKERING - Is Something Turning It ON and OFF - I took a PICTURE

Comet 3I/ATLAS is behaving unlike any comet we’ve ever seen.
Tonight, I captured new images that show a strange flickering effect — almost like the object is turning ON and OFF in cycles. Scientists are observing unexpected brightness pulses, sunward jets, X-ray emissions, and patterns that don’t match normal comet behavior.

In this video, I break down:

🔹 What causes this “flickering” effect
🔹 Whether jets or rotation could make the nucleus brighten and dim
🔹 Why some frames show a white core and others don’t
🔹 How interstellar objects behave differently near the Sun
🔹 What my own picture reveals compared to Hubble and professional observatories

As always, this is real astrophotography from my backyard in Leander, Texas, using the same equipment I use for all my comet 3I tracking sessions.

We are witnessing history — the closest approach of an interstellar object on December 19, 2025. Stay subscribed to follow every update and see what this mysterious visitor does next.
