Earth objects, astronomers recently discovered a comet visiting from interstellar space. This is only the third interstellar object ever discovered, following ‘Oumuamua and Comet 2I/Borisov. Each of these interstellar visitors offers a chance to learn about another star system without having to go there ourselves,

Comet 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1. “It came from outside our solar system and right now, it's inside the orbit of Jupiter…,” said an official of the NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).

A rare visitor from another star system has been spotted: the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS! It was detected July 1 by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS. Most known comets orbit the Sun and are bound by the gravity of the solar system
