NASA’s Webb Room Telescope Reveals Tricks of Interstellar Comet 3 I/ATLAS

NASA’s James Webb Room Telescope observed interstellar comet 3 I/ATLAS Aug. 6, with its Near-Infrared Spectrograph instrument. The research group has actually been assessing understandings from Webb’s data, and a preprint is readily available online. Webb is one of NASA’s area telescopes observing this comet, together giving even more information about its size, physical homes, and chemical make-up. For instance, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the just recently launched SPHEREx goal have actually also observed the comet. While the comet poses no hazard to Earth, NASA’s room telescopes help sustain the company’s continuous objective to locate, track, and better understand planetary system things.
