A new interstellar object, A11pl3Z, has been discovered in our solar system, marking the third such object to be observed. It was first discovered zipping near the sun this fall.

The object was first detected as A11pl3Z, but once confirmed as interstellar, it was renamed. Richard Moissl, who works on planetary defense at the European Space Agency, said it won’t hit Earth.

A newly discovered object, dubbed A11pl3Z, appears to be moving too fast and straight to have originated in the solar system. If confirmed, it will be the third interstellar visitor ever spotted.
