3rd Interstellar Comet Discovered!
Amazing! 3rd interstellar comet has officially been confirmed and this time it will approach our planet about 1.8 astronomical units away (170 million miles, or 270 million kilometers)
It will reach the closest point to the Sun around Oct. 30, 2025
Not much is known about it yet as this is a new discovery, so we will discuss this more next week as we get more info Image credit: ATLAS/University of Hawaii/NASA

In your opinion, are we actually intersecting a greater number of these objects, or are we just getting much better at finding them?

Does it originate from the same vector (?) as either of the first two?
