Asteroid from another star system found orbiting wrong way near Jupiter

For the first time, a permanent member of our solar system has been found to have originated elsewhere

A permanent visitor from interstellar space has been found in our solar system, astronomers studying an asteroid orbiting our sun have revealed.

While collisions with Earth by comets and asteroids from within our solar system are thought to have brought organic material and water necessary for life to emerge, experts say the latest discovery suggests bodies from beyond the solar system might have also have played a role.
