  1. We’re about to find many more interstellar interlopers
    Named #3IATLAS, a rogue comet that arrived recently is the third interstellar object #astronomers have detected within our Solar System, following #1IOumuamua and #2IBorisov discovered in 2017 and 2019. Scientists think interstellar objects routinely transit among the planets, but #telescopes have only recently had the ability to find one. For example, the #telescope that discovered Oumuamua only came online in 2010.

  3. Der zweite bekannte interstellare Besucher unseres Sonnensystems war wohl viel ursprünglicher als gedacht. Analysen zufolge war er keinem Stern je nahegekommen.

  4. I think tomorrow is #2IBorisov day, no? Interstellar object number two reaches perihelion out past Mars.
