The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is unusually rich in alcohol — a chemical clue that could reveal how planets and icy bodies form around other stars.

Analysis of the tail of 3I/Atlas reveals that it contains an anomalous proportion of methanol, a class of alcohol used in fuels.

“Observing 3I/ATLAS is like taking a fingerprint from another solar system,” said lead author and American University physics ...

Lead researcher Nathan Roth said the image shows the comet is “bursting with methanol in a way we just don’t usually see.” ...

A BOOZY comet has stunned scientists after they discovered the ‘alien’ rock is filled with alcohol. The mysterious interstellar comet is “bursting” with the substance like ...

Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.

Astronomers have spotted something unusual in a comet passing through our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever s.

New data indicates Comet 3I/ATLAS is second only to C/2016 R2 in terms of methanol levels ever recorded in a comet within our solar system.

The government must do more to heighten awareness of the risk of methanol poisoning while abroad: that is the message from family and friends of British victims who unwittingly consumed drinks ...
