Interstellar Objects: From Oumuamua to Borisov and the Growing Potential for Regular Detections
To the point
Rob Weryk’s detection of Oumuamua and Gennadiy Borisov’s discovery of 2I/Borisov show that interstellar visitors can be either unusual rocky objects or icy comets, and as telescope technology improves we can expect many more such objects that will reveal new materials and dynamics beyond our solar system.
