Scientists observe unusual composition of interstellar comet

If two interstellar comets have visited our Solar System in such a short period of time then this implies that such events probably occur frequently and we just haven't been able to detect these interstellar visitors until now. Hopefully someday we send a probe, similar to Osiris-Rex to retrieve a sample from one of these. Imagine what we could learn from a surface sample taken from an object that formed around another star.

I much prefer stories like these to the media and politically charged articles. Please post more of these.

That's so cool! (no pun intended) . I wonder what else we will discover as time passes.

The more we look the more interesting things we find. Lots of stuff passes by all the time without humanity noticing just because we do not look for it. I would really like to have a series of space-based telescopes monitoring for this sort of stuff moving through the Solar system.

We know nothing.

Isn't this how the Final Fantasy movie started?

Tis a derelict space hulk slipping between warp translations....... Usually infested with Orcs or Tyranids....... Sometimes far worse....... Pray Terra has gone unnoticed.......

Space nerds are dumb and pretentious. No one should care until we have an amusement park on the moon

I bet it's a cluster of space-poop, lol. Jk but this is really an interesting find.

So what you're saying is it's from a long time ago in a place far far away
