Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reportedly shows unusual ice and chemistry signatures

Webb observations reportedly link interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS to ice signatures seen beyond Neptune, and its methane's deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio is reported as 13 times higher than comet 67P. ScienceAlert suggests it may contain 10-billion-year-old material.
