An interstellar comet, dubbed A11pl3Z, is hurtling toward the inner solar system, first detected by NASA's ATLAS system. While it poses no threat to Earth, its approach offers a rare opportunity for astronomical study.
Astronomers have identified a new interstellar object, A11pl3Z, on a trajectory towards the sun, potentially the third of its kind ever observed. Set to make its closest approach in October, researchers are eager to unveil its mysteries.
