We could send a spacecraft to Comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov), but it wouldn’t be easy
Astronomy
First glimpses of interstellar comet suggest it’s not so different
Comet C/2019 Q4 gained a lot of attention when astronomers identified it as the second interstellar object ever discovered

This comet might be from interstellar space. Here’s how we could find out
Comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) could be the second confirmed interstellar object, however astronomers will have much more time to examine it
Solar System
A telescope orbiting the Moon could spy one interstellar visitor per year
Such a mission would shed considerable light on our solar system’s population of interstellar objects
Solar System
Astronomers are close to finding the interstellar visitor’s home system
It has been narrowed down to four possible star systems from which ‘Oumuamua originated from
Solar System
Interstellar visitor ‘Oumuamua is now a comet
New results indicate interstellar nomad `Oumuamua is a comet and not an asteroid
