There’s another interstellar comet headed our way. Unlike Oumuamua in 2017, this one has a tail. It was discovered August 30, 2019, by an amateur astronomer named Gennady Borisov.
What I know so far:
It’s from outside our solar system. It’s only going to pass through here once.
December 7th it will be closest to the sun, about 166,000,000 miles away from Earth.
December 28th it will be about the same distance from Earth.
It’s going 93,000mph.
It’s somewhere between 1.2 -10 miles in diameter.
Chemical analysis so far shows it being very similar to comets in our own solar system.
I have not yet heard if it will be visible to the naked eye.
