There’s nothing like the universe to bring you down to earth.

That’s really fast. I’d love to know how it achieved such a velocity.

The speed would come from the relative motion between the Solar system and the origin of the comet combined with the gravitational interaction that caused it to get ejected from its host star.
I don’t think the speed is all that fast for an interstellar object.

Looks like evidence of a deer hunter illegally shining deer on a foggy night.....

IF you ever think you're all that....just go outside on a clear night and try to count the stars.
It'll humble you real quick.

It'll humble you real quick. If you live in the city with significant light pollution, if you count the visible stars you'd think it's no big deal. Got to get most folks out under dark skies for them to even begin to appreciate it.

It’s insanely fast compared to the speeds we can achieve.

Do it with night vision and you will really be amazed.
Hard to keep your mind on your work on a clear night.

Yes...I’ve done that. Amazing how many more stars you can see even with the city lights.

The stars on a clear moonless night here in the country make me tingle in awe.

Our own spacecraft heading toward the Sun achieve four times the speed.
