"Exploring the Potential Abundance of Interstellar Objects in Our Solar System"
Astronomers are preparing to use new telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the forthcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to better understand interstellar objects like 'Oumuamua, the first recorded interstellar object. These telescopes will help differentiate between natural phenomena and potential artificial technology, such as dark comets, which move like comets but display no dust tail. With these tools, astronomers may soon detect a multitude of interstellar objects, potentially leading to close encounters with interstellar visitors.
