So it looks like we have ANOTHER interstellar visitor screaming through the solar system! It’s an alien comet, and unlike #Oumuamua we’ll have plenty of time to observe it.https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/wait-another-interstellar-object-is-passing-through-the-solar-system …

Do you think a future mission will focus on landing on one of these interstellar objects / is there a benefit over objects that came from within?

The ESA wants to do exactly that! Not with this object, but hopefully in a few years. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/ESA_s_new_mission_to_intercept_a_comet …

From the minor planet mailing list (MPML) a couple of days ago seems to hint that it could have been seen earlier & quite possibly be visible for several years. Also interesting it'll recede from us slower than it came in (going by the Earth distance in this:pic.twitter.com/kjmlqIhYwB

That may have more to do with where Earth is in its orbit. Try checking that velocity every six months instead of every year! You’ll see it oscillate due to Earth’s motion. :)

I know we are a long way from having the capability, but wouldn't it be cool if we could detect these early enough to let us scramble and get a probe out there to sample its composition before it departs the solar system?

The European Space Agency's preparing to build me already! Launch scheduled for 2028. I'll wait in a stable location in space for a "new" Oort Cloud comet or interstellar object to come along. http://www.cometinterceptor.space

Appropos of nothing I hear the Ramans do everything in threes.
