Researchers Believe Interstellar Comet Borisov Is Breaking Apart

Since it was first discovered in August 2019, astronomers have been awestruck by interstellar Comet 2I/Borisov. But recent observations of the space object suggest that it could be breaking apart.

A group of researchers from Poland have noted that the object has brightened up twice this month.

“The total brightness increase is thus about 0.7 mag in 5 days between UT 2020 March 4.3 and 9.3,” the researchers wrote in a note published March 12. “This behavior is strongly indicative of an ongoing nucleus fragmentation.”

In September 2019, the International Astronomical Union confirmed that the object was from another solar system.

    I’m not saying it means aliens, but it means aliens.

    Wasn’t that the plot of Battle: Los Angeles and the “plot” of Battleship?
