The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reobserved interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS on 30 November with its Wide Field Camera 3 instrument. At the time, the comet was about 286 million kilometres from Earth. ⁠ ⁠ Hubble tracked the comet as it moved across the sky. As a result, background stars appear as streaks of light.⁠ ⁠ Hubble previously observed 3I/ATLAS in July, shortly after its discovery, and a number of observatories have since studied the comet as well. Observations are expected to continue for several more months as 3I/ATLAS heads out of the solar system.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA , europeanspaceagency , STScI, D. Jewitt (UCLA). Image Processing: J.
