ALMA Discovers Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Originated in a Frigid Planetary System
Water consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, represented as H2O. However, in a standard water molecule, those hydrogen atoms contain only a single proton. In contrast, cometary water features a significant proportion of deuterium (D), a form of hydrogen combining a standard proton with a neutron. This deuterated water, such as that [...] The post ALMA Discovers Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Originated in a Frigid Planetary System appe…
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Formed in Ultra-Cold Planetary System, ALMA Reveals
With more than 30 times deuterated water or semi-heavy water seen in solar system comets, 3I/ATLAS preserves evidence of radically different conditions in its birthplace billions of years ago.

The Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Was Born Somewhere Much Different From Our Solar System - Astrobiology
Less than a year ago, astronomers discovered a comet soaring through our sky that was not from our solar system. Although we still don’t know where this interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS came from, research led by the University of Michigan has revealed new insights about its birthplace. Wherever that was, it was much colder than […] The post The Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Was Born Somewhere Much Different From Our Solar System appeared first…
HOUSTON, TEXAS.- An international team of scientists managed to decipher the origin of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, an object that has captured the attention of the astronomical community because of its unusual composition. The finding, published in Nature Astronomy, suggests that this comet was formed in a planetary system with conditions radically different from those of the Solar System. Thanks to observations made with the radio telescop…
Photo: Courtesy NASA The mysterious passage of 3I/ATLAS through the solar system continues to give something to talk about. New scientific studies have revealed key data about its origin, age and composition, consolidating it as one of the most enigmatic objects observed in modern astronomy.This cosmic visitor, detected last year, is not only the third interstellar object confirmed to cross our neighborhood, but it could also be the oldest recor…
