October 29, 2025, the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reached its perihelion — the point of closest approach to the Sun. During this period, the object remained hidden from ground-based telescopes but continued to be monitored by orbital instruments. The collected data revealed a sudden surge in luminosity: its apparent magnitude increased from 11 to 9, corresponding to nearly a hundredfold rise in brightness. The outburst is attributed to intense sublimation of volatile compounds — water ice, carbon dioxide, and possibly substances never before detected in cometary material. The observed bluish tint suggests that gas emissions dominate over the dusty tail, as if the nucleus is releasing the concealed depths of its chemical past into space.
