The object, called A/2017 U1, was first detected by a researcher at the University of Hawaii. It is moving at approximately 50,000 mph and was still 15 million miles away from Earth at its closest range on October 14. NASA claims this may be the first time an interstellar object has been observed traveling through our solar system, and it is clearly on its way out.
