A newly discovered interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, was first observed by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory during its commissioning phase, making it the earliest high-precision image of such an object.

Rubin's observations are crucial for studying this rare cosmic visitor before it moves out of view in August.
