Feast your eyes on the first interstellar comet ever directly observed

The solar system has another interstellar visitor, but there's no question of this one being an alien spacecraft. It's a true comet and the first we've ever confirmed that comes from interstellar space, and the Hubble Space Telescope captured some amazing imagery of it. This new comet, called 2I/Borisov (not as catchy), was first identified in August by an amateur astronomer named Gennady Borisov, who lives in Crimea.
