“Understanding ISO origins provides a deeper context for interpreting their physical and chemical properties,” noted Shokhruz Kakharov of Harvard University. Such remarks encapsulate the scientific curiosity associated with the passing comet 3I/ATLAS, which has been classified as only the third interstellar object to pass through the solar system. The object will pass closest to the earth on December 19 with a distance of 1.8 astronomical units or about 270 million kilometers.
