Thousands of interstellar objects may be lurking in our solar system

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Scientists predict that thousands of interstellar objects may be present in the outer regions of our solar system, specifically within the Oort cloud. These objects are believed to have been captured by our Sun during close encounters with other stars over its 4.6-billion-year history. While three such objects have been observed in the past decade, new models suggest that many more could be permanently residing in the solar system, though current technology makes direct observation in the distant Oort cloud impossible.

    Thousands of Interstellar Objects May Be Lurking in Our Solar System

    The Sun has likely passed so close to other stars in the past that it captured thousands of small interstellar objects from alien systems, reports a new study.
