"Object Passing Through Solar System May Be Interstellar: First Possible Could Be Verified

So ... there is a fast moving object that does not follow the behavior of all our local solar system 'rocks' ... passing through the solar system, according to NASA, as reported by MSN *see link*.

If so ... this is not the first *duh*, but could possibly become the first that is observed, and may be verified.

It is a small object, not a planet sized object by any means; so, it is NOT NIBIRU ... if you believe in Nibiru, or whatever.

But still, if it comes from an interstellar origin, it could prove that these kinds of events happen, at least from time to time.

Nice article!

Astronomers around the world are trying to track down a small, fast-moving object that is zipping through our solar system.

Here is a gif of what we are to expect.........



It's from CNN, so it could be fake, who knows??

They will be arriving soon.

Wow ... nice GIF, Sublime!

Multiple sources now. Seems 'less fake'.

double post sorry

a reply to: Sublimecraft

It has already passed by.

Sorry OP, this was already posted a couple days ago: Astroid from outside the solar system, or something else?

It's likely an interstellar comet.

Arrgh! End of the World, again.
sigh... this world has died so many times.
I am getting sick of fixing it!

it could hit us. could be a space ship.

Ahh hahaha ... I missed that. I did search ATS, but that did not come up for whatever search words I used *blush*

It's been already..I thought you knew.

Just had a thought that an object like this, a rogue element, if it was large enough, and passed close enough to a moon or a planet, might be able to yank it off it's normal orbit, or even cause something to break away which could have some interesting but also catastrophic effects on the Earth.

Hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.

I am tardy on the news. I did not know. The joke is on me

So the first half of this thread was sarcasm, then outdated info?

Well anyway, the thread is redundant, but I was thinking -- if we had a pre-prepared probe ready to attach itself to another such object in the future, we could get almost a free ride out of the solar system, with a package of sensors / instruments or something, or even just attach ashes of dead people or whatever for an interstellar ride into the unknown.

This object is going out of the solar system. Wouldn't it be neat if this happens again, and if we can detect it soon enough, to hitch a ride next time?

Nothing to worry about, it's still an interesting thread, anyway CNN's fairly decent for news since it's globally sourced..now, had it been FOX...well, we don't even get it now!

That is indeed cool, and would be an interesting experiment!

I was enlarging some older images of the Rosetta comet, and noticed a lot of anomalies on it that looked like someone was already doing this same exact thing, hitching a ride with sensing/recording devices like a remote exploration device comet sized.

Astroid from outside the solar system, or something else?
