This event marks the simultaneous observation of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instruments aboard ESA's Juice and NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The informally coordinated effort successfully captured the comet's ultraviolet emissions, gas breakdown, and scattered dust from both hemispheres.
