Unidentified Interstellar Object Found in Our Solar System
Sarah Lewin, Associate Editor for Space.com, discusses the latest scientific discovery found in our solar system, which has astronomers scratching their heads. Oumuamua first left scientists thinking it might have held alien life.
The object was first thought to be an asteroid. But because of its outer consistency, scientists think it is closer to a comet. Researchers are still studying the object, but because of advances in technology, they expect to find more objects like this in our solar system more often.
The North American wolverine will receive long-delayed federal protections under a Biden administration proposal released Wednesday in response to scientists warning that climate change will likely melt away the rare species’ snowy mountain refuges.
