CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronomers say they've spotted an object in our solar system that's believed to be from another part of the Milky Way galaxy. The European Space Agency says this is just the third time such an Interstellar object has been seen by scientists.

Astronomers have observed an object that originated from beyond our solar system, thought to be an interstellar comet, speeding through our celestial neighborhood.

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.
