JWST observations indicate that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has dust dominated by amorphous silicates similar to the ISM, unlike the crystalline silicate-rich dust in Solar System comets.

POSEIDON now includes lab-derived rocky surface albedos, enabling JWST emission spectra to separate thin versus thick atmospheres and potentially identify granite-like versus basaltic surfaces.
Asteroids 1093 Freda and 1390 Abastumani display spectral characteristics intermediate between C and dark X types, possibly due to cronstedtite on their surfaces.
