C/2025 V1 Borisov: Another Tail-less Comet

TheSkyLive

2025 seems to be fast becoming the year for fascinating Comets, or pseudo-Comets. This new kid on the block seemingly popped into view rather suddenly. I don't know details, but I'm wondering how this new Comet got so far into our Solar System before it was discovered. Of course, there could be a very simple Astronomy-based reason of which I'm unaware, but looking at its orbit, it just seems peculiar that this one sneaked in unnoticed until only recently.

There are already many online sensationalist reports exclaiming that C/2025 V1 Borisov is a sort of probe or craft released by 3I/Atlas, supported by the situation that its position was between the latter and Earth when it was discovered. And of course, that it is tail-less.

Anyhoo, I wrestled with the following chart (as best as I could, given my very extremely novice status) to determine the orbital plane of 3I/Atlas, C/2025 V1 Borisov and Earth on 3 November:

....and it does look like all three are sort of on the same plane.

Its discovery was reported by Comets and Asteroids:

Comet C/2025 V1 (Borisov) was discovered by G. Borisov on 2025 -Nov-02.10833 UT at magnitude 12.0 G with coma diameter 25 arcsec, and no tail from L51 MARGO, Nauchnyi using a 0.50-m f/1.9 reflector telescope. The comet is currently in Virgo low in the eastern morning sky. 

 

MPEC 2025-V40 : COMET C/2025 V1 (Borisov) was issued 2025-Nov-05 and reported the discovery announcement, confirmations, observations, orbit, and ephemeris.

Gennady Borisov is the same amateur Astronomer who discovered our second Interstellar visitor 2I/Borisov ~ which had very Comet-like behaviour, tail and all.

Orbital Today carried some interesting details:

A Peculiar Absence Of A Tail

Unlike many comets, C/2025 V1 Borisov appears to lack a prominent tail, which has stirred curiosity and, inevitably, online speculation. Some enthusiasts have linked it to another space traveller, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which has also been the subject of dramatic theories.

Astronomers, however, say there’s no mystery at all. The comet’s subdued appearance is likely due to its composition and distance from the Sun, which means it has not yet developed the glowing tail typical of highly active comets. Scientists confirm that C/2025 V1 Borisov originates within our own Solar System, most likely from the distant Oort Cloud.

Avi Loeb weighed in as well ~ please visit his site to read his article where he indicates an absence of relationship between this new Comet and 3I/Atlas. He also brings up the latest image of 3I/Atlas which shows unusual "jets" emanating from the body. I will get to that in the next post. Fascinating stuff ~ 3I/Atlas continues to present peculiarities.

In the same article, Avi Loeb also includes a link to a recent interview with NewsMax ~ it's brief but had good relevant questions.

3I/Atlas Updates @ 8 November 2025

Qicheng Zhang/Lowell Observatory ~ LiveScience

Right. Time to catch up on some updates regarding our Interstellar Visitor. Which means wading through some really questionable content online 🙄

First up is the potentially first image of post-Perihelion 3I/Atlas, courtesy of amateur Astronomer Qicheng Zhang. Hmmmm still no tail. 

There's a more recent one also taken by Zhang, also tail-less:

Cometary

Based on more credible sources, in the recent period prior to and post Perihelion, it would seem that:

*3I/Atlas appears to be hotter than expected, confounding experts (again) 

*3I/Atlas has brightened considerably beyond expectations (again)

*3I/Atlas has accelerated independently of gravity, defying odds (....again?)

*data is being shared by amateur Astronomers instead of official channels (again).

 

In other words, this Visitor is yet again exhibiting very non-Comet-like behaviour.

 

Here are some reports from Avi Loeb that highlight some relevant points and considerations about what's happening with 3I/Atlas. While I do not share his strong concern for a hostile attack/takeover by advanced ETs, I do appreciate his observations and perspectives, and his determination to be swimming uphill against the mainstream.

By the way Avi Loeb, here are some interesting scenarios for you to consider:

• No need to worry about an Alien Invasion ~ they already did that eons ago and that's why we have a global control system 
• Focus instead on getting rid of the negative Alien Intruders right in our own backyard
• Nasa isn't what you think it is, and the "Space Force" isn't to protect Humanity
• The Invisible Wars (becoming not so invisible) between negative Intruder Races and Guardians have been raging for eons
• We all are of ET origin.

 
Okeydoke back to Avi Loeb's reports:

3I/ATLAS Rapidly Brightens and Gets Bluer than the Sun Near Perihelion

 

Excerpt: The appearance of 3I/ATLAS as bluer than the Sun is very surprising. Dust is expected to redden the scattered sunlight, and the surface of the object is expected to be an order of magnitude colder than the 5,800 degrees Kelvin at the photosphere of the Sun, resulting in it having a redder color than the Sun. We must therefore add the blue color at perihelion as a ninth anomaly to the list of unexpected properties (compiled most recently here) of this strange interstellar object. Does it employ a power source that is hotter than the Sun?

 

First Evidence for a Non-Gravitational Acceleration of 3I/ATLAS at Perihelion

 

Afterthoughts on the Non-Gravitational Acceleration of 3I/ATLAS at Perihelion

Excerpt: If we do not observe a massive cloud of gas around 3I/ATLAS in December, then the reported non-gravitational acceleration near perihelion might be regarded as a technological signature of a propulsion system. 

 

I do not understand much of the scientific mechanics in the articles, but for those who do, the articles would be beneficial. I also appreciate Avi Loeb calling the term "dark comet" an oxymoron 😄 That's the scientific experts for you.

There's also an interview with Ashley Banfield, which I found informative. Please watch it here. 

(For information, in case there is any accusation of bias or prejudice since it's obvious I don't think much of the Scientific sector ~ I was a Science student in school, a Science graduate, and had a Science-based career.)

I think it's very encouraging to see amateur Astronomers step in and provide public data about this Visitor. This is a telling example of how "We the Little People" will be the ones to initiate, create and expand our New Reality, independent of "governments" and other control structures as much as possible. To me, this is the true meaning of "The meek shall inherit the Earth". More about that another time.

It's been intermittently stormy for the past few days, starting from the final hours of 5 November 2025 (images above and below ~ I do not currently have the mental, emotional and physical capacity to merge the graphs as I usually do, hence separate they remain 😆):

....with corresponding high-speed Solar winds:

Our Sun is still churning out gargantuan CMEs, like this recent one on 7 November 2025:

Earlier on the same day (7th), our Planet was swathed in high Plasma density ~ this was the same timeframe as those high-speed Solar winds:

Solar Activity & X-Class Flares ~ 4 & 5 November 2025

SpaceWeather

Ooooh....after intently focussing on other Planets for more than 4 months, our Sun has turned its attention to Earth. We had two X-class flares in a row yesterday 4 November and there was an M-7.4 flare just now, chart shown below:

The clip above shows the two X-class flares ~ X1.8 & X1.1. Based on the assumption that there were several energetic interactions with 3I/Atlas with all those CMEs hurled towards it, these flares would certainly carry some interesting frequencies and Cosmic codes.

For more details about the X-class flares, please visit SpaceWeather.

SpaceWeather also reports that we would be expecting some Earth-facing CMEs soon, bearing in mind that our Sun has been spewing colossal non-Earth-facing CMEs daily over the past weeks.

Here are two recent ones:

SpaceWeather has the following update on 3I/Atlas ~ it's ironic that we're getting data about this Visitor from mediums other than the ones who should be updating us. Even previous sightings made available to the public have come from amateur Astronomers instead of "official sites".

RAPID BRIGHTENING OF COMET 3I/ATLAS: Spacecraft monitoring the sun witnessed a dramatic surge in the brightness of Comet 3I/ATLAS as it plunged toward its Oct. 29th perihelion. Qicheng Zhang (Lowell Observatory) and Karl Battams (U.S. Naval Research Laboratory) reported the phenomenon in a preprint submitted to the Astrophysical Journal Letters on Oct. 28th.

"The reason for 3I’s rapid brightening, which far exceeds the brightening rate of most Oort cloud comets, remains unclear," the authors say.
