Interstellar Objects

Interstellar objects are celestial bodies, like comets or asteroids, that originate outside our solar system and travel through it. Unlike planets or typical comets from our solar neighborhood, these objects come from other star systems, carrying information about distant environments. They are rare, with some detected passing close to Earth, offering unique insights into the composition and formation of other planetary systems. Their study helps astronomers understand the diversity of objects across the galaxy and the processes involved in planetary evolution beyond our solar system.
