Recent research models the distribution and impact risk of interstellar objects (ISOs) on Earth, suggesting they are more likely to come from the solar apex and galactic plane, with impacts more probable near the equator and in the Northern Hemisphere, though the exact number of impacting ISOs remains unknown.
Recent research models the distribution and impact risk of interstellar objects (ISOs) on Earth, suggesting they are more likely to come from the solar apex and galactic plane, with impacts more probable at low latitudes near the equator. The study focuses on ISOs ejected from M-dwarf systems and highlights the importance of upcoming observations from the Vera Rubin Observatory to better understand ISO impact risks.
