Discovered just a year ago, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS could be one of the oldest objects ever observed by humanity

Interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, might be one of the oldest celestial bodies ever seen, potentially forming 10 to 12 billion years ago.

While its exact age is debated, some research suggests it's significantly older than our solar system, possibly originating from the galaxy's ancient 'thick disk'.
