If Jupiter can capture a interstellar comet every 60 million years, could this mean the majority of the moons of Jupiter are in fact these comets? - User:62.8.126.181
The article Pan-STARRS has a link entitled Interstellar debris to here. Quote "During the formation of a planetary system it is thought that a very large number of objects are ejected due to gravitational interactions with planets (as many as 1013 such objects in the case of the Solar System). Objects ejected by planetary systems around other stars might plausibly be flying throughout the galaxy". Are all such objects interstellar comets, if not should there be a new article on debris? John a s ( talk) 08:18, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I think the page is fine, it describes a theoretical object that is likely to exist. I note that it should be possible to distinquish one from a comet that came from the Oort cloud (which I read is also a theory) due to its trajectory, so lets hope one appears soon!

Why is there a picture of Comet Hyakutake heading this article, as it is not an interstellar comet? Maybe an artists impression is needed. John a s ( talk) 07:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Interstellar object – The recent discovery of
A/2017 U1 which is the first known interstellar object, and is likely not a comet, suggests this article's title be broadened to include it. Interstellar object is already a redirect to this article (and interstellar comet would then be, of course) and the editorial changes to the text would be quite minor.

Given that substellar objects includes asteroids and comets and what-have-you, it seems odd to exclude substellar object in the initial definition of what an interstellar object is. Was it meant to say low mass stars perhaps? RhinoMind ( talk) 20:29, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
I've just added a line regarding the PNG bolide, tucked in under the existing section for 'Oumuamua. It occurs to me that it and the previously mentioned four other candidate objects probably deserve a section of their own, but I see we have no articles about the other four objects, and I've found no real extra information regarding them online to warrant a new section. It's not ideal, but for now I've left them all lumped together. If anyone can find any other references and wants to move that content to the new section, please do.

From when this article was started until November 2017, it was about interstellar comets. An interstellar object can be anything not bound to the Sun. It would be good to move this article to a more appropriate name as stars are also traveling among the stars. -- Kheider ( talk) 19:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
For consideration/discussion - Copied the following below (in part) from Talk:ʻOumuamua - hope it helps in some way - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan ( talk) 12:39, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
FWIW - seems an interstellar object may currently be on Earth - recent news [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] may be of possible interest to some I would think - iac - Stay Safe and Healthy !! - Drbogdan ( talk) 20:33, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
BRIEF Followup - Updated the lede of the
'Oumuamua article as follows => *ʻOumuamua is a known
interstellar object detected passing through the
Solar System.(+ref) It is possibly the second interstellar object known; the first being a purported interstellar meteor that impacted Earth in 2014.(+refs)
" - seems better - comments welcome of course - in any case - Stay Safe and Healthy !! -

FURTHER Updates (also for consideration/discussion) - originally in the " Interstellar object" article as follows:
The first interstellar object which was discovered traveling through our
Solar System was
1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017. The second was
2I/Borisov in 2019. They both possess significant
hyperbolic excess velocity, indicating they did not originate in the Solar System. Earlier, in 2014, an interstellar object was purported to have impacted Earth, based on its estimated initial high velocity.
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
In 2019, a
preprint was published suggesting that a 0.45 meter meteor of interstellar origin, did burn up in the Earth's atmosphere on January 8, 2014.
[6]
[7]
[1]
[2] It had a heliocentric speed of 60 km/s and an asymptotic speed of 42.1±5.5 km/s, and it exploded at 17:05:34 UTC near
Papua New Guinea at an altitude of 18.7 km.
[3] After declassifying the data in April 2022,
[8] the
U.S. Space Command confirmed the detection through its
planetary protection sensors.
[9]
[4]
In April 2022, astronomers reported the possibility that a meteor that impacted Earth in 2014 may have been an interstellar object due to its estimated high initial velocity.
