DB Burkeman developed a way to organize the cream of the interstellar crop into one coherent body of art: the curated online catalog, Star Warps.

"This means that the original predictions that the first interstellar visitor should be a comet were correct," University of Hawaii's Meech said in an email.
|
|
Voyager 2 pushed across the heliopause from the hot, lower-density plasma of the solar wind into the cool, higher-density plasma of interstellar space.

On the bright side, however, we have "already have built interstellar craft," he said, referring to the space probes that are orbiting through space today.
|
|
It's now TESS's job to find those nearby planets, the ones close enough to scrutinize with telescopes, or even for an interstellar robot to visit.

Our solar system is more than just the Sun, planets, moons, and asteroids—it's full of dust, much of which might originate from interstellar sources.
|
|
On top of that, Zirnstein's team was able to simulate the strength and direction of the interstellar magnetic field with great accuracy using this model.
|
|
"Interstellar objects are leftover material from stars and planets that formed somewhere else in the galaxy and they're being FedEx'd straight to Earth," says Seligman.
|
|
Seligman and other astronomers have calculated that the solar system is likely awash in interstellar objects—we're just not very good at finding them yet.
|
|
Last year, the European Space Agency approved the Comet Interceptor mission, which may be the first spacecraft to do a flyby of an interstellar object.
|
|
Guests in attendance included Hathaway's friend and Interstellar costar Jessica Chastain, who welcomed her first child, daughter Giulietta, nearly a year ago in November 2018.
|
|
Was it another Oumuamua, the cigar-shaped rock — later determined to be the first-known interstellar comet — that streaked through the solar system in 203?
|
|
The task for Brandt and his colleagues will be to find the sweet spot that takes the craft to interstellar space as fast as possible.
|
|
It took those spacecraft nearly four decades to cover this distance, but NASA's new interstellar probe could make it there in less than 15 years.
|
|
In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first man-made object to exit our solar system and enter interstellar space, from which it still sends signals.
|
|
"A message in a bottle into the ocean," says Jim Bell, author of "The Interstellar Age" — and to alien life-forms that might find it.
|
|
The experiments got McGeoch thinking about possible water-protein reactions that might have occurred inside the interstellar clouds that eventually coalesced into our solar system.
|
|
Whatever happens, other interstellar visitors are sure to follow, and professional sky gazers hope to find them with powerful new telescopes in the years ahead.
|
|
He had even played a younger version of Casey Affleck's character in Christopher Nolan's 2014 space-epic "Interstellar," which Chalamet hoped might open some doors.
|
|
Scientists only had a few weeks to study the interstellar interloper before it got too far, and too dim, to see with Earth-based telescopes.
|
|
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, expected to come online next year, should be able to spot interstellar objects as they fly through our solar system.
|
|
The big picture: Astronomers think interstellar objects like these could have been ejected from their own solar systems through interactions with planets or other objects.
|
|
Voyager 2 is sending back data from its five operating instruments that provide insight about fast-moving particles, plasma and clouds of material in interstellar space.
|
|
The cigar-shaped comet or asteroid (astronomers still aren't entirely sure) didn't stay for long, departing our Solar System to continue along its epic interstellar journey.
|
|
Now, the intrepid spacecraft—skirting serenely in interstellar space—is being bombarded with requests for nudes, the pee tape, and least predictably, questions about people's dads.
|
|
But now, in a paper published today (June 27) in the journal Nature, researchers seem to have concluded that the mysterious interstellar body is a comet.
|
|
Although the molecules have been observed in space before, this observation marks the first time that electrically charged C60 has been seen in the interstellar medium.
|
|
You'd think this would (ahem, mostly) make for excellent book club fodder, but we're only starting to piece things together in Liu Cixin's dynamic, interstellar novel.
|
|
In a chat for Interview magazine, Chalamet told McConaughey he dropped out of college his first year because it was drab compared to working on Interstellar.
|
|
Each have used their solo work to explore the interstellar realms of synthesis, but for their Mugen pieces each chose to go a little more earthbound.
|
|
He's been experimenting with both 70mm projection and IMAX for a while, including in the prologue for The Dark Knight Rises, parts of Inception, and Interstellar.
|
|
Camp attendees were required to read a list of books, including The Lord of the Rings series, and science topics included fossil fuels and interstellar travel.
|
|
Esposito plays Moff Gideon, a formidable interstellar administrator who keeps his true motivations close to the vest — and that's just the way the actor likes it.
|
|
But maybe Earth life would adapt to an alien ecosystem, Gatti told me, perhaps even sharing genes with it in a case of interstellar sexual reproduction.
|
|
The probe crossed the outer edge of the heliosphere, also known as the heliopause, which acts as a transition zone to interstellar space, on November 22.

Redfield's team used Hubble to gaze directly at two sight lines along each spacecraft's path, in order to map the interstellar structure along their respective routes.
