Europa Clipper and Juice Team Up to Observe Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
During November 2025, ESA’s JUICE and NASA’s Europa Clipper simultaneously observed interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from opposite sides, capturing its glowing dayside and dusty night side. Both spacecraft used ultraviolet spectrographs to detect hydrogen, oxygen and unusually high carbon emissions.
