你知道嗎？在遙遠的宇宙中，有一顆名叫3I/ATLAS的彗星最近來到我們的太陽系！這顆彗星就在10月29號最近接近太陽，它有著綠色的氛圍和微弱的尾巴，像是一個星星種子在星空中的美麗舞動。這張圖片是11月14號用小望遠鏡在我們的地球上拍到的，背景是處於處女座的繁星們。3I/ATLAS是第三個已知的來自別的星系的神秘來客，它讓很多科學家都非常興奮，因為現在有許多太空船和天文望遠鏡都在努力觀察它！雖然這顆彗星最近變得更亮了，但如果你想看到它，那還是需要用望遠鏡來幫忙哦！現在，這顆神奇的彗星在11月的早晨出現在天空中，並且在12月19號將會和地球展開最親密的接觸，距離我們大約有2.7億公里之遠呢！
原文:
Now outbound after its perihelion or closest approach to the Sun on October 29, Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object to pass through our fair Solar System. Its greenish coma and faint tails are seen against a background of stars in the constellation Virgo in this view from planet Earth, recorded with a small telescope on November 14. But this interstellar interloper is the subject of an on-going, unprecedented Solar System-wide observing campaign involving spacecraft and space telescopes from Earth orbit to the surface of Mars and beyond. And while the comet from another star-system has recently grown brighter, you’ll still need a telescope if you want to see 3I/ATLAS from planet Earth. It’s now above the horizon in November morning skies and will make its closest approach to Earth, a comfortable 270 million kilometers distant, around December 19.
