So far we know of only two interstellar objects (ISO) to visit our Solar System. They are 'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. There's a third possible ISO named CNEOS 2014-01-08, and research suggests there should be many more.
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 Science Alert, the research could allow sending a spacecraft to rendezvous with one of these objects. The...
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 orbits and arrival rates.
