Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS packed with alcohol stuns astronomers: Here’s what its alien chemistry could reveal about planet formation
Science News: Astronomers have spotted something unusual in a comet passing through our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever s.
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS emits much more methanol than the solar system. It also enriches other poisonous substances. Astronomers at the Chilean ALMA Observatory have also been surprised by the places where the simplest monohydric alcohol escapes from. They consider the findings important for information about other planetary systems.
Scientists have confirmed that comet 3I/Atlas, which arrived in the solar system from interstellar space and has been attracting attention since the beginning, contains an unprecedentedly high amount of alcohol, specifically methanol. NASA scientists said that it is literally full of it. According to scientists, the large amount of methanol in the comet is probably due to completely different chemical conditions in the place where it was formed …
Researchers: inside have made an unusual discovery: 3I/Atlas, according to investigations, is strutting against methanol – and thus clearly differs from comets from our solar system. read more on t3n.de
