NASA has released new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, dispelling rumors that it might be an alien spacecraft. The images reveal that the comet appears to be experiencing cryovolcanism, with ice volcanoes venting from its surface. This phenomenon, similar to objects in the outer solar system, has surprised astronomers. The discovery of these ice volcanoes provides new insights into the comet's composition and behavior as it travels through our solar system, enhancing our understanding of interstellar objects and their characteristics.
