DESCRIPTION:The first macroscopic interstellar object (ISO) passing through
  our Solar System\, `Oumuamua\, was discovered in 2017 and caused a lot of 
 excitement\, due to both its novelty and its unexpected properties. The sub
 sequent two discoveries\, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS\, appear more like comets
 . 3I/ATLAS has been observable for most of the last year\, and as the first
  ISO seen in the JWST era has been well studied\, and appears to be an anci
 ent object that is significantly older than our Solar System. I will discus
 s what we have learned about the ISOs seen so far\, what the prospects are 
 for this field in the era of Rubin/LSST\, and how we could potentially send
  a spacecraft to see a future visitor up close. To arrange a visit with the
  speaker during the visit\, please contact their host: Markus Hundertmark\n
