Abstract:
A team of astronomers has taken the sharpest-ever picture of the third interstellar object, known as 3I/ATLAS and resembling a comet, traveling at 130,000 miles per hour within our solar system using the crisp vision of Hubble. This breathtaking sprint is evidence that the comet has been drifting through interstellar space for many billions of years. Observations will continue as it passes closest to the Sun in late October, and then it will leave the Solar System.
During this web seminar the presenter will share information about the three interstellar objects scientists have discovered roaming through our solar system within recent years, the techniques used to acquire the observations, and NASA’s plans for the search and discovery of similar objects.
Notes:
This program is free. Participants who attend the live program and complete the post-program survey will earn a certificate. The program will be recorded for watching on-demand. There is no certificate available for watching the recorded version of the program.
