Hubble Space Telescope Captures Interstellar Invader Comet 3I/ATLAS

Rana Atef On Friday, the Hubble Space Telescope captured for the first time comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet is the third object that was observed entering the solar system. The previous two "interstellar invaders" were 1I/'Oumuamua, caught in 2017, and 2I/Borisov, watched in 2019. Both left the solar system, though other interstellar bodies are predicted to enter the galaxy. According to recent research suggested that 3I/ATLAS could be more exciting as its trajectory indicates it comes from a region older than our solar system. With an estimated age of 7 billion years, that would make 3I/ATLAS the oldest comet humanity ever seen. Hubble Space posted on X: "Hubble Space Telescope images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS are out! These were taken 5 hours ago. Plenty of cosmic rays peppering the images, but the comet's coma looks very nice and puffy. Best of luck to the researchers trying to write up papers for this." The research added that: "3I/ATLAS is an active interstellar comet containing abundant water ice, with a dust composition more similar to D-type asteroids than to ultrared trans-Neptunian objects." D-type asteroids are space rocks with organic molecule-rich silicates and carbon with water ice in their interiors. read more UAE's Lunar Mission Delayed to Tomorrow Twitter Lifts Trump's Account Ban Scientists Find Evidence Of 10،000 Black Holes Surrounding The Center Of The Milky Way Galaxy Greenhouse In Antarctica Able To Grow Vegetables Without Soil Or Sunlight Moving Over China: U.S. Is Again Home to World's Speediest Supercomputer Technology The 10 most expensive cars in the world Technology Top 10 fastest cars in the world Technology Lasers Could Make Computers 1 Million Times Faster Technology Smart technology taking control of our lives News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
