La missione SPHEREx della NASA individua l'involucro luminoso di #3iatlas
le osservazioni hanno rivelato la composizione della chioma di 3I/ATLAS, l’involucro gassoso luminoso attorno a una cometa che si forma quando si avvicina al Sole. Il riscaldamento provoca la sublimazione dell’acqua e di altri composti volatili congelati e libera anche polvere, metalli e altro materiale proveniente dall’interno della cometa.

i enjoy hearing about this historic interstellar object #3Iatlas cause it's truly mindblowing what we find out about it, but also to watch mainstream scientists be debunked by the #AngryAstronaut who argues here it can't be a comet.

James Webb Telescope Just Detected Mysterious Lights Inside 3I/ATLAS
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is no longer being treated as a comet. The JWST has captured "intermittent luminosity" emanating from the interior of the object—signals that follow a mathematical pattern. As it accelerates away from the Sun, the evidence is mounting:
