Our solar system is full of objects much smaller than planets and moons, and sometimes they show up in the strangest places.
A comet has never been spotted in this location before, and scientists are running simulations to figure out where it originated. Jupiter is often called the king of the solar system, and there’s a very good reason for that. The massive gas giant has been credited with shielding the inner planets from potentially dangerous asteroids, pulling them into a Sun-centric orbit and preventing them from traveling deeper into the solar system. But its influence isn’t limited to asteroids, and as we now see with this new “comet-like object,” the planet is good at pulling in all kinds of stuff.
