Juice space camera captures interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in vivid detail
TL;DR
ESA's Juice mission captured the first image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with its JANUS camera, showing the coma and a long tail seven days after perihelion as Juice sat about 66 million km away. Five instruments (JANUS, MAJIS, SWI, PEP, UVS) collected data to study the comet’s activity and composition, with teams now analyzing the results and planning a late-March synthesis of findings.
