Topic: Mysterious object from deep space has entered the solar system (Read 589 times)
asteroids or comets move between stars and usually across our solar system. However, this becomes a detectable object for the first time. So far, everything has indicated that it is an interstellar object,
It's interesting, but I can't wait that people find some intelligent beings in the space 
Never and this is probably just an asteroid.
The only intelligent beings in space, lose their intelligence when they go there. I mean, we can hardly keep ourselves alive on earth! Forget space. It's stupid to go there.
Maybe it is something sent to Earth to investigate our civilization and our capability to defend against planetary threat.

Another asteroid or a stray star, of which there is a lot in space. We humans tend to show interest in those areas that we do not know or far from us.
I've always found unidentified objects we find interesting. What's weird is that we never really get an answers to what these objects/masses are or why they are there. Space is so fascinating.
People still really don't know a lot about space. I'm just convinced that outer space is still a lot of mysteries and secrets, which we can never know at all.

This object is in an odd position. It's moving very fast. And it's in what appears to be a somewhat extreme orbit. Extreme enough not to actually be an orbit, in fact.
Observations published by the by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center (MPC) suggest it could have come from deep space.
Specifically, it could be a comet that has escaped another star.
"If further observations confirm the unusual nature of this orbit, this object may be the first clear case of an interstellar comet," the MPC declares.
The PanSTARRS telescope spotted the object only after it was flung back out towards the stars by our Sun.
It's not likely to ever return. It flashed past Earth at 24 million kilometres on October 14.
Many eyes watched it closely, keen to determine exactly what it was. Their curiosity was piqued by where it had come from.
Most objects orbiting our Sun do so along a common plane: the planets, dwarf planets and asteroids mostly swing around in roughly the same way.
