Astronomers have confirmed that interstellar objects—cosmic bodies originating from other stars—are passing through our solar ...

In late 2017, a mysterious object tore through our solar system at breakneck speed. Astronomers scrambled to observe the fast ...

How can astronomers pierce through the interstellar fog of the Milky Way—not to study distant objects, but to understand the ...

This illustration shows the paths through our Solar System of the two confirmed interstellar objects, Oumuamua in 2017 (formally known as 1I/2017 U1), discovered in 2017, and the comet 2I/Borisov ...

However, the odds of encountering one of these objects within the heart our solar system remain exceedingly low, with only a one-in-a-million chance that an interstellar visitor is located within ...

it was already careening out of the solar system at 110,000 mph. The object's trajectory strongly suggested it came from another star system, making it the first interstellar object ever detected.

Oumuamua was later confirmed to be the first object from another star known to have visited our solar system. While these interstellar ... allowing them to image targets from multiple angles ...
