Astrophysicist astrafoxen announced on Bluesky social media that the Hubble Telescope had successfully imaged Comet 3I/ATLAS yesterday. This marks the third documented 'interstellar visitor' to our Solar System, following 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. With a diameter of roughly 20 kilometers, Comet 3I/ATLAS likely hails from the outer fringes of the Milky Way and stands as one of the oldest comets discovered. It is anticipated to reach its closest approach to the Sun on October 30, at a distance of approximately 210 million kilometers. This observation presents scientists with an invaluable opportunity to study extrasolar objects.
