NEW IMAGES! NASA’s Webb & SPHEREx Deliver First Look at Alien Comet
NASA’s brand-new SPHEREx telescope has made its first discovery: interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Faster and larger than any visitor before it, ATLAS is rich in carbon dioxide, with only faint traces of water and carbon monoxide. Together with JWST and Hubble, SPHEREx is revealing what this alien traveler is — and isn’t. paper link : https ...

NASA's cosmic mapmaker – SPHEREx – has joined the effort to learn more about the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS ☄️ The infrared space telescope observed the comet earlier this month, providing more info about its size, physical properties, and chemical makeup. While Comet 3I/ATLAS doesn’t pose a threat to Earth, NASA's space telescopes help support our ongoing mission to find, track, and better understand solar system objects.

The most carbon dioxide-rich comets ever seen 😮☄️ Astronomers have been observing 3I/ATLAS since July, when it was discovered to be zipping towards our solar system with extreme speed. Most observations so far have found that it appears to be a fairly regular comet, though there have been some puzzling features hinting at an exotic origin. Martin Cordiner @NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and his colleagues have now obtained the most detailed observations of the comet yet using the
