Scientists now say an interstellar comet discovered earlier this month could be one of the oldest that astronomers have ever encountered.
In this case, the Comet known as ‘C/1980 E1’ is following a hyperbolic path around the solar system, and has been for over four decades, since it entered Jupiter’s gravitational pull in 1980.
The first was Comet C/1980 E1 (Bowell), which encountered Jupiter in 1980 and was similarly hurled out of the solar system, according to the astronomers' study.
