NASA Spotted This Comet as It Exploded, and It’s Full of Organic Chemicals
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS flaring dramatically months after its closest pass by the Sun. Only the third confirmed interstellar object ever detected in our solar system, 3I/ATLAS is offering scientists a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star. The new findings expand the growing dataset gathered since its discovery in July 2025. The mission, formally known as the Spectro-Photome…
Scientists analyzed data collected by NASA's SPHEREx telescope and found that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which flew by Earth last year, threw the building blocks of life into space, Live Science reports. YOU WILL BE INTERESTED If it survives its approach to the Sun: the new comet will be visible even during the day. SphereX watched the interstellar guest from orbit when it approached our planet in December. NASA said that among the organ…
Organic Molecules Confirmed On 3I/ATLAS As Interstellar Object Approaches Jupiter
INSIDE THIS REPORT The discovery did not arrive with spectacle. It arrived in spectral lines—quiet, technical, and unmistakable. NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has now detected organic molecules streaming from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, adding a new scientific layer to one of the most closely watched cosmic visitors in modern astronomy. New SPHEREx data adds scientific weight to debates over interstellar chemistry just weeks before the object’…
