Astronomers have observed an object that originated from beyond our solar system, thought to be an interstellar comet, speeding through our celestial neighborhood.

In 1992, astronomers spotted the minor planet 15760 Albion, the first object ever spotted beyond Pluto and the first official member of the Kuiper Belt.

Sedna will reach its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, providing a remarkable space-faring opportunity that won’t come again for another 11,400 years.

For NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, though, the relative position of the stars is beginning to shift because it has now traveled way beyond our planetary neighborhood on its way to interstellar space.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has traveled so far from Earth that the relative position of the stars is beginning to shift — a fact that could help future spacecraft navigate the galaxy on their own.
