More than half of the objects at the edge of the solar system are from interstellar space

Comet 2I/Borisov was the second interstellar object ever discovered when it was spotted it in 2019. However, there may be as many as 100 trillion interstellar objects like this in the solar system, significantly more common than first thought, a new study suggests. 'There should be about a hundred trillion Borisov-like interstellar comets out to the edge of the Oort cloud,' Loeb wrote in an email to DailyMail.com Scientists believe there may be 100 trillion interstellar objects like Comet 2I/ Borisov in the solar system in the Oort cloud. Siraj and Loeb speculate that the number of interstellar objects outnumber solar system objects in the Oort cloud. The Oort cloud is a theoretical concept of icy objects at the farthest parts of the solar system 'Now we're finding that there could be substantially more visitors.'
