Subaru Telescope Data Suggests 3I/ATLAS Has a More Complex Interior Than Earlier Readings Indicated
Observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after perihelion found a lower carbon-dioxide-to-water ratio than earlier space-based observations suggested, pointing to changing coma chemistry and a more layered interior.
Key Takeaways
- Subaru observed 3I/ATLAS after perihelion and analyzed light from its coma.
- The team found a lower carbon-dioxide-to-water ratio than earlier space-based observations suggested.
