Researchers rarely get a glimpse of an interstellar object up close like 3I-ATLAS, so they have jumped on the opportunity to learn about its composition, which can reveal how planet systems are made.
About 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity. The Sun, planets, and eventually Earth formed out of the cloud. But when did ...

Comets like 3I/ATLAS could jump-start the birth of giant planets around distant stars
Interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS could serve as seeds for giant planet formation, potentially explaining how massive planets form around distant stars, according to BBC and Pfalzner’s research.
