INTERSTELLAR COMET 3I/ATLAS reemerged from behind the Sun and is visible again in the pre-dawn sky in Virgo.

A new Nov. 8 image from Michael Jaeger and colleagues shows four or five tails, including a narrow jet aimed toward the Sun. The comet is exactly where it should be, following the same trajectory as before perihelion. Spaceweather.com is requesting confirming photos.
