Sharp Hubble Images Confirm 3I/Atlas as Comet
Astronomers at the Pan-STARRS Observatory in Hawaii made history in 2017 when they detected 'Oumuamua, the first interstellar object (ISO) ever observed.
As I showed in a published paper shortly after 3I/ATLAS was discovered, the detection of this object over 5 years of the ATLAS telescope's survey of the sky requires an untenable mass supply of rocky material from the Milky Way galaxy. This consisted of C software he developed using three libraries—including NASA JPL, Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility(NAIF), and Spacecraft, Planet, Instrument, C-matrix, Events (SPICE) software—which allowed the team to produce an accurate prediction of Jupiter and Juno's orbits. This includes its near-infrared spectrometer, magnetometer, microwave radiometer, gravity science instrument, energetic particle detector, radio and plasma wave sensor, UV spectrograph, and visible light camera.
