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.
Actually, there’s a project called Breakthrough Starshot that’s working on exactly this - developing tiny light-sail probes that could potentially intercept passing interstellar objects and send back data, though the challange of matching those incredible speeds is still a major hurdle for our current technology.
oh I was thinking just impact into it like the one japanese sattelite and hijack its speed.
