NASA unveils new findings on comet Atlas 31
A scientific study led by NASA has revealed that the comet "Atlas 31," the third confirmed object from outside our solar system, formed approximately 10 to 12 billion years ago during the early stages of the Milky Way galaxy. Researchers utilized data from the James Webb Space Telescope to analyze its components after it approached the Sun. The findings showed unusual levels of deuterium and variations in carbon isotopes, indicating a formation environment different from that of solar system comets. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the conditions under which stellar objects form and to the chemical studies of the universe.
