The comet, dubbed 2I/Borisov, was discovered Aug. 30 by Gennady Borisov at an observatory in Nauchnij, Crimea.
Doyle RiceThe interstellar comet 2I/Borisov was captured by the Gemini North telescope on September 10, 2019.A newly discovered comet is definitely from outside our solar system, scientists confirmed in a study published Monday.
"We immediately noticed the familiar coma and tail that were not seen around 'Oumuamua," said study co-author Michal Drahus of Jagiellonian University in Poland."This is really cool because it means that our new visitor is one of these mythical and never-before-seen 'real' interstellar comets." 2I/Borisov is inbound toward the sun, but it will remain farther than the orbit of Mars and will approach no closer to Earth than about 190 million miles in early December, NASA said.
