The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the best picture yet of a high-speed comet visiting our solar system from another star.
NASA and the European Space Agency released the latest photos Thursday.
Discovered last month by a telescope in Chile, the comet known as 3I-Atlas is only the third known interstellar object to pass our way and poses no threat to Earth.
If we’re talking about Voyager 1, it should be at about 42 km/s now according to the graph on Wikipedia. 130,000 mph is about 0.019 % of c. 42 km/s is about 0.014 % of c. So this comet is about one third faster than the Voyager 1.
Btw I don’t think the Voyager space probes are considered satellites? They don’t orbit the earth, nor the sun. Not sure about that one though.
