Obviously my question is....was that directed at 3I/Atlas?
Or should I ask, was that "pulled" by 3I/Atlas?

Next, I would ask ~ what happened with the white-out?
SpaceWeatherLive has indicated that this is potentially a full halo CME. Here's a different view of the same CME:

OK this is just me making a non-expert conclusion....the CME is being expelled towards the direction of Venus. It passes Venus and is extending outwards on 25 October 2025:
Here's the position of 3I/Atlas on 25 October 2025:

I think it's heading for 3I/Atlas, bearing in mind that this Visitor is practically travelling along the ecliptic plane.
Cosmic Sparks are flying....
Namarie! 💜
