A new study has suggested that over 1 million interstellar objects, each larger than the Statue of Liberty, could be lurking in the outer regions of the solar system. These objects, which are believed to have originated from the Alpha Centauri system, may have been captured by the Sun’s gravity and are now residing in the Oort Cloud. Although these cosmic visitors are unlikely to approach Earth, smaller interstellar particles may be entering the atmosphere each year.Study Findings on Interstellar ObjectsAccording to the study, available on the pre-print server arXiv, which has been accepted for publication in The Planetary Science…

A newly discovered asteroid, 2024 YR4, has been identified as a potential threat, with calculations indicating a 2.3 percent chance of impacting Earth on 22 December 2032. The space rock, estimated to be 55 metres wide, is moving at nearly 48,000 kph. While it is not large enough to cause a global catastrophe, its impact could release energy equivalent to 8 megatons of TNT, more than 500 times the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Scientists are also examining a smaller probability of 0.3 percent that the asteroid could strike the moon, an event that would be visible from Earth.Moon Impact Likelihood and…
