Hubble Captures Breathtaking Image of Comet 3I-Atlas
Reading
The Hubble telescope took a great picture. This picture shows a fast comet from another star. NASA and Europe showed the new photos on Thursday.
A telescope in Chile found the comet last month. This comet is called 3I-Atlas. It is the third object from another star to pass near us, but it is safe.
Scientists thought the comet's core was many miles wide. Hubble's pictures show it is smaller. It could be as small as 1,000 feet, say the scientists.
The comet is moving very fast toward us. It goes 130,000 mph. It will go near Mars, but not near Earth, so we are safe.
Hubble took the picture from far away. It was 277 million miles away. The telescope saw dust around the comet and a tail of dust.
