Astronomers will continue monitoring Cha 1107-7626 using the Webb telescope and other observatories to measure whether its extreme consumption was a short-term flare or the start of a longer phase. For 3I/ATLAS, researchers worldwide are still awaiting clearer images and data as it passes its perihelion.
Both cases highlight a growing reality: our understanding of the galaxy is evolving in real time, often through phenomena that defy neat classification.
