New Discoveries from Our Second Interstellar Visitor - SciShow News

The video discusses the discovery and study of the interstellar comet Two I Boris Off, which is the second interstellar object detected after Oumuamua. Discovered by Gennady Borosov, the comet has a hyperbolic orbit and is traveling at high speed, indicating its origin from outside our solar system. Scientists have been studying its characteristics, such as size, shape, and composition, and comparing it to Oumuamua. While Two I Boris Off appears more typical than Oumuamua, its study provides valuable insights into interstellar objects. Future observations are planned as the comet approaches Earth.
