Image reveals unprecedented view of the third interstellar object observed

Açıklama:

A new image from the Hubble Telescope offers the clearest view yet of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which is speeding through our solar system at 130,000 mph. The comet, first spotted on July 1, shows a teardrop-shaped dust tail streaming from its icy nucleus, estimated to be between 1,000 feet and 3.5 miles wide. Multiple telescopes, including James Webb and Keck Observatory, are studying the comet’s composition as it remains visible until September, CNN has reported. However, its exact origin remains unknown, with scientists unable to trace where it came from.
