Hubble Refines Size of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS’s Nucleus
86
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have obtained the sharpest images yet of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS system in Chile. This is the third known object to enter the Solar System from interstellar space after billions of years traveling through the Milky Way. Initially, the nucleus size […]
