First Observed Interstellar Comet

New NASA Image Provides more Details about First Observed Interstellar Comet

A new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope provides important new details about the first observed interstellar comet in our solar system. The comet, called Comet 2I/Borisov (the “I” stands for interstellar), was spotted near a spiral galaxy known as 2MASX J10500165-0152029. David Jewitt, UCLA professor of planetary science and astronomy, collaborated with colleagues from the University of Hawaii, Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore and Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory on this new discovery. Jewitt is the one who analyzed and interpreted the data from the new image said that the data from the Hubble Space Telescope gives us the best measure of the size of comet 2I/Borisov’s nucleus, which is an important aspect.
