This image from the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii shows the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. It's a composite image of four separate images, each with a different filter: blue, green, orange, and red. As each exposure is captured, background stars and galaxies move in relation, making them appear as colourful streaks. Image Credit: International Gemini Observatory/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/B. Bolin

Gemini North captured new images of Comet 3I/ATLAS after it reemerged from behind the Sun on its path out of the Solar System. The data were collected during a Shadow the Scientists session — a unique outreach initiative that invites students around the world to join researchers as they observe the Universe on the world’s most advanced telescopes.
