The discovery of a visiting comet coming from outside the solar system

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A new comet discovered in the orbit of Mars has prompted scientists to look for if it came from outside the solar system, a possibility likely to make it the second object of the stellar space detected in the solar system.
Astronomer Gennady Borisov of Crimea spotted the path of the comet, following a very curved path and heading in the direction of the sun at a very high speed, sign of its origin outside the solar system.
"Our team here at the University of Hawaii has been striving to record observations for on-site measurements," said Karen Mitch, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii. Hawaii, whose team concluded that the size of the body and its invasive tail were considered guilty.
"Whenever a new comet is discovered, everyone starts looking for data to identify the orbit," she told Reuters, noting that her entire team was 100 percent convinced that this is true and honest from the outside of the solar system.
The comet, a mixture of ice and dust, is expected to reach its nearest point of the sun on December 8, 300 million kilometers from Earth, on a path supposed to be limited to objects in the astral space.
Once it has been confirmed that the comet came from outside the solar system, it would become the second object of this type never detected by scientists, and scientists called it C 2019 Q4.
The first cigar-shaped comet, dubbed "umwama", entered the solar system in 2017, prompting the belief that it could be a spacecraft carrying scientists. Scientists quickly agreed that the prognosis is wrong.
Unlike Umwama, who visited the solar system for just one week, the newly discovered comet will remain near the orbit of Mars for about a year, which will give scientists enough time to determine its chemical properties and search for more evidence of its origin.
"The high speed not only indicates that the body probably comes from our solar system, but also indicates that it will leave and return to the starry space," said David Farnukia, astronomer at NASA in California.
