I/ATLAS, the unusual interstellar comet that continues to fascinate astronomers, appears to be keeping an intoxicating cosmic secret, new research has revealed.

Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile have detected extraordinarily high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, with methanol-to-hydrogen-cyanide ...

The interstellar comet holds more alcohol than almost all known comets in the solar system.

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected hydrogen cyanide (nitrogen-bearing organic molecule commonly seen in comets) as well as unusually high levels of ...

“Observing 3I/ATLAS is like taking a fingerprint from another solar system,” explained Nathan Roth, an astronomer at American University.

Comet 3I/ATLAS continues to make astonishing headlines, thanks to new findings from astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This new research reveals that 3I/ATLAS ...

New ALMA observations reveal a complex network of gas filaments in the Milky Way’s central 650 light-years, enabling detailed studies of star formation in extreme galactic conditions.
