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:
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:
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.

That's the third X-class flare this week.
This could be the related CME:

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:

Based on more credible sources, in the recent period prior to and post Perihelion, it would seem that:
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:
Okeydoke back to Avi Loeb's reports:
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 π 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.

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:

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.
