Keck Telescope Data Just Released: 3I/ATLAS Isn’t Acting Like a Normal Comet

*“Keck Telescope Data Just Released: 3I/ATLAS Isn’t Acting Like a Normal Comet”* 🛰️ *Keck Telescope Data Just Released: 3I/ATLAS Isn’t Acting Like a Normal Comet* The *Keck Observatory* has just released brand-new data on the mysterious interstellar object *3I/ATLAS* — and what they found is not normal. Captured on *August 24, 2025**, by the **Keck II telescope* using the *Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI)**, the images reveal a **strange anti-tail* pointing toward the Sun — the opposite of what comets usually do. Even more puzzling, scientists detected *strong nickel emissions* but *no iron**, suggesting an exotic **carbonyl chemical process* near the comet’s core. This might mean the formation of **nickel tetracarbonyl [Ni(CO)₄]**, a phenomenon never before observed in any known comet or interstellar object. According to *Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb**, 3I/ATLAS remains a *Rank 4 anomaly on his *Loeb Scale of cosmic outliers* — joining the ranks of other mysterious visitors like *‘Oumuamua* and **2I/Borisov**. Upcoming missions — including *HiRISE (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter)**, **JUICE**, and **Juno* — may soon reveal whether 3I/ATLAS is a rare natural object or something far more unusual. --- 🔭 *Highlights* Keck II telescope captures anti-tail pointing toward the Sun Nickel emission detected without iron — a chemical mystery 3I/ATLAS shows no visible dust tail like normal comets Loeb maintains 3I/ATLAS as a high-priority anomaly Upcoming missions could change what we know about interstellar objects --- 🧠 *Sources & Credits* Data: [W.
