Astronomers captured detailed post-perihelion images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing complex jet structures and its trajectory as it moves away from the Sun into interstellar space, providing valuable insights into its composition and behavior.
Astronomers observed a complex jet structure emanating from the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS after its perihelion, revealing at least seven jets and a large coma extending half a million kilometers, providing insights into its activity and composition.
Astronomers studying the Brightest of All Time (BOAT) gamma-ray burst, GRB 221009A, have discovered an unusual jet structure that may explain its extreme nature and prolonged visible afterglow. The jet exhibited a narrow core with wide sloping wings, different from other gamma-ray bursts. These findings challenge standard theories and will drive future studies of gamma-ray bursts, prompting the development of more complex models and simulations.
