NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope totally changed how we picture deep space, by looking at the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it kept moving out, away from our solar system. In landmark papers that showed up in Nature and Nature Astronomy, the mission team reports that Webb pulled off some genuinely rare chemical signatures from this old, foreign visitor. These findings give scientists this direct window into what chemical neighborhoods look like in alien star systems that formed billions of years ago.
