In breaking news - astronomers announced late Thursday that
they’ve identified a chunk of stuff from another star passing through our solar
system.
This is the very first time (at
least since man has been chronicling the heavens) that we’ve caught an
interstellar asteroid or comet visiting our neighborhood.
Scientists are
temporarily calling the object A/2017 U1. It is unclear if the object is made-up of rock,
ice or both, but it’s about a half-kilometer in size and zipping through space at
just over 40 kilometers per second.
