The Subaru telescope has captured changes in the composition of comet 3I/ATLAS. Observations reveal that the comet's coma changed composition as it approached the sun, with methane emerging as it exits the solar system. The comet's composition is also noted to be distinct from those in our solar system, with one report indicating it contains significantly more semi-heavy water.
