Interstellar

A star-like interstellar object is travelling through the Solar System, and astronomers say it is not the first such visitor. Previous interstellar objects, including 'Oumuamua in 2017 and comet 2I/Borisov in 2019, sparked global interest because they originated outside our cosmic neighbourhood. The new arrival is drawing attention from scientists and space enthusiasts, who are debating its origin, composition, and what it reveals about how frequently material passes between star systems.
