What was its speed at closest sun approach? Because the speed of objects in our solar system are all very low compared to the speed of the nearest solar system compared to our sun, I imagine this could also be the fastest object ever to be obversed in our solar system.
- Tepix 9y agoIts speed peaked at 87.71 km/s at perihelion.
- planteen 9y agoIt looks like there was a sungrazer comet an order of magnitude faster than that at 600 km/s (2.16e6/3600), so this was not the fastest solar system object ever. https://futurism.com/the-sun-just-killed-the-fastest-moving-object-in-the-solar-system/ https://futurism.com/the-sun-just-killed-the-fastest-moving-...
