NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Sharpest Image of Confirmed Interstellar Comet

The image of an interstellar visitor, comet 2I/Borisov is the latest offering from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to astronomers. The speed and trajectory of comet 2I/Borisov show it has come from outside the solar system. The image taken on October 12th, 2019 is the sharpest view of the comet ever to be captured.
