NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detects methane hidden deep inside interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with unusual carbon dioxide abundance
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane and unusual carbon dioxide levels in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. These findings suggest the comet formed under different chemical conditions than those typically observed in our solar system.
Why it matters
Understanding the chemical composition of interstellar objects provides clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems beyond our own.
