3+ day, 7+ hour ago   (454+ words) UK astronomers have uncovered new clues about the origins of 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected, finding that the comet likely formed in an exceptionally cold environment far from its parent star. The findings, published in Monthly…...

3+ day, 23+ hour ago   (262+ words) Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains exceptionally high levels of methanol, suggesting it formed under conditions very different from those that shaped most comets in our solar system. ALMA also revealed that tiny icy grains around the comet are releasing methanol like…...
