A mysterious interstellar object, A11pl3Z, is set to pass by Earth on December 17 at speeds exceeding 41 miles per second. Detected in June, it has been confirmed to originate beyond our solar system. Estimated to be about 12 miles wide, A11pl3Z surpasses the sizes of previous interstellar visitors Oumuamua and Borisov. The object has raised speculation about its nature, with astronomer Avi Loeb suggesting it could be a large rock or comet, or possibly man-made. The possibility of its artificial origins, similar to Oumuamua's case, is again being discussed by scientists and researchers.
