Interstellar Objects News Today

Two years ago, the world started an affordable interstellar sample return space program. The Galileo Project is an international scientific research project

When Oumuamua travelled through our Solar System back in 2017, people around the world paid attention.

New research shows how interstellar objects could be captured into near-Earth orbits. Massive Jupiter plays a big role.

The Heising-Simons Foundation names Malena Rice and Eva Scheller as two recipients of the 51 Pegasi-b postdoctoral program to be hosted by MIT. Rice will use TESS to look for Planet Nine while Scheller will study water on Mars.

The Oort cloud is a hypothetical spherical cluster that encircles the most distant frontiers of our solar system. The existence of the Oort cloud is regarded as the...

Last Updated: Astronomers Study Interstellar Objects Passing Through The Solar System A new study led by researchers from the Initiative for Interstellar Studies revealed that roughly seven Interstellar objects enter our Solar System every year. A new study led by researchers from the Initiative for Interstellar Studies revealed that roughly seven interstellar objects enter our solar system every year and they follow predictable orbits while they are here. According to the reports by Scien...

Astronomers have detected how many interstellar objects may be visiting our solar system, in a recent study. The research conducted by Cornell University shows interstellar objects (ISOs) passing through the solar system can be directly observed by Earth-based telescopes and potentially explored at close range by spacecraft. The aim of the study was to find additional ISOs and planning missions to intercept or rendezvous with these bodies will greatly benefit from the knowledge of their likely...

Solar system.nasa.gov If Oumuamua is the real deal, meaning an alien craft, then Earthlings are doing some really weird stuff on the scale of alien intelligence. Think about it… If it’s an alien craft or drone, there’s no way it entered the sun’s solar system, swooping within 15M miles of Earth, powered by fossil fuels. […]
