A Canadian astrophotographer has captured what may be the clearest image yet of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, fuelling a fierce debate led by a Harvard astronomer who claims the object is not a comet but alien technology.
Paul Craggs, the astrographer in question, shared what might be the clearest images of 3I/ATLAS yet in recent posts on X (formerly known as Twitter). In a post on 22 November, Craggs shared three images of the interstellar comet using his Dwarf 3 telescope. The photos show a much clearer shape to the comet and seem to show a lack of a cometary tail.
