New Interstellar Object A11pI3Z Approaches the Solar System

Astronomers have discovered a potential interstellar visitor, dubbed A11pl3Z, approaching the solar system at high speed, likely originating from outside our solar neighborhood. The object, possibly a large asteroid or comet, is on a trajectory that suggests it will pass through our solar system without posing any risk to Earth, with closest approaches expected in October and December. Scientists plan to study it further using advanced telescopes and possibly Mars rovers to learn more about its nature and origin.

It is currently inbound, passing near Jupiter and approaching perihelion in October 2025, and may be an asteroid about 20 km in size. This discovery adds to the growing evidence that interstellar objects are more common than previously thought.
