NASA telescopes in Chile have discovered a comet from interstellar space, making its closest approach in October.

Oumuamua stunned scientists as the interstellar object entered and then exited the solar system, something previously unprecedented in the world of astronomy. In 2019, the comet Borisov was deemed the second interstellar object to enter our solar system.

An object thought to have come from another star has been seen entering the solar system at high speed, and is expected to whip around the sun in the coming months
