NASA IST SCHOCKIERT! 3I/ATLAS IST NOCH DA!
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is still traveling through our solar system! And new measurements with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal something incredible: its chemical composition differs drastically from comets in our solar system. The extremely high deuterium ratio and unusual carbon isotopes, in particular, suggest that 3I/ATLAS may have originated in a very cold, ancient, and metal-poor region of the galaxy. Researchers even suspect that this comet could be 10 to 12 billion years old—a frozen relic from the early days of the Milky Way. 🚀SUBSCRIBE TO ASTRO-TIM FOR EVEN MORE SPACE KNOWLEDGE: @AstroTim 💜Want to use your own planet emojis and watch exclusive videos from me?
