{"content":"A11pl3Z, spotted July 1, 2025, is a candidate interstellar object, likely the third to visit our solar system. It's about 20 km wide, moving at 66 km/s with a hyperbolic orbit (eccentricity ~10.4). Closest Sun approach is October 2025 at 1.4 AU, Earth at 2.4 AU in December. Its 175° inclination suggests an origin in the Milky Way’s disk. ESA and astronomers lean toward interstellar status, but the Minor Planet Center’s final confirmation is pending. No collision risk; it’s a chance to study extrasolar material. Data is preliminary, so some uncertainty remains.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025072025/07/03/915a47148b2e4e2480ee411d2e57fc03.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
