In a new study, astronomers have calculated that in the Oort Cloud -- a shell of debris in the farthest reaches of our solar system -- interstellar objects outnumber objects belonging to our solar system. The findings of the study were published in the journal 'Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society'. In 2019, astronomers spotted something incredible in our backyard: a rogue comet from another star system.
