New Images Reveal Comet 3I/ATLAS in Action Ahead of Earth Flyby
NASA and ESA have released stunning new images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which is set for its closest approach to Earth on December 19. Traveling at an incredible 130,000 mph, this comet is becoming increasingly active, showcasing its bright coma and jets of gas.
Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope and ESA's Juice orbiter, these images highlight the comet's dynamic features, including its dual tails. As it nears Earth, astronomers anticipate more observations, with the James Webb Space Telescope also set to join in. What do you think about this cosmic visitor?
