Scientists utilising the James Webb Space Telescope have analysed the chemical composition of interstellar comet 31/ATLAS, concluding it formed approximately twelve billion years ago. The comet's hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios suggest it originated in an extremely cold primordial planetary system during a period of intense star formation. This rare interstellar visitor offers unprecedented insights into the early universe beyond our solar system.
