Scientists observed unusual, wobbling jet-like features in its sun-facing anti-tail, suggesting a rotation period of about 15.5 hours. This offers a rare glimpse into the behaviour of a pristine object from another star system reacting to solar heat for the first time, aiding our understanding of planetary formation elsewhere.
