If you haven't heard about this it's pretty fascinating.
Long story short, observers believe to have found what they think is a piece of something that is 100 metres long, 10 metres wide, very thin, travelling from beyond our solar system and through it, away from the sun at speeds and angles that are inexplicable.
There are no indications that it's anything from earth but it's shape is unnatural and looks engineered making scientists believe that it is manufactured.
There is no cometary tail or any indication that it's a comet or an asteroid. Avi Loeb of Harvard believes it's a piece of alien technology that is a 'light sail' - a sail pushed by light.
Also a Joe Rogan video where Avi does a great job of quickly explaining the finding.
Best part of the video is when Avi's collegue makes a comment after a seminar and says "This object is really weird. I wish it never existed."
Modern scientists. Don't you love it?
