Inner-coma jets of 3I/ATLAS on 2025-12-27 UT. Two principal jet structures remain separated by ∼120°, but the emission broadens into a fan. Such morphological changes modulate the coma brightness within a fixed aperture and can alter the amplitude/shape (and sometimes the apparent phase) of the photometric signal.
