mystery object in the solar system // Trevor Turnbow

      Astronomers found a small moving comet type thing, that flung through our solar system and doesn't behave like any of the space rocks found in our solar system. Scientists say that they have been waiting for this day for years. on October 19 A/2017 U1 was spotted in our solar system from Hawaii. It's orbit defies any of the usual orbits found in the solar system, it passed through quickly and seems to be on the way to the constellation Pegasus. This is one of the first interstellar comets to be recorded.
      This is really cool to read. Hearing about what's beyond the solar system is always such a taboo topic. We have around 0% information on what' out there so every little shred we get is infinitely interesting. The last time major discoveries have been made in space it was a competition as to who could get out there first, during the cold war. This time around there hasn't been that kind of vibe.
