Reply to comment by 4ofN in Scientists Discover Asteroid Ryugu Came From Edges of Outer Space. Iron isotopes from Ryugu’s rock samples suggested that the asteroid’s construction significantly differed from typical carbon-rich meteorites in the Solar system. by Educational_Sector98

Same. If I've decoded the abstract, it came from further out in the solar system and was pulled inward by Uranus or Neptune.

It did not come miraculously from the edge of the observable universe overcoming the speed of causality and expansion of spacetime. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add8141

Yeah but wouldn't it have been cool if it did

Considering the odds of it happening into our little realm of observation are basically zero and something would have had to cause that to happen, NO!

Well it would be completely impossible. Space is expanding faster than the asteroid would be able to travel through it for one. I think people are annoyed by titles like this because they are weak attempts at capturing people’s attention and wasting everyone’s time with some unimportant fleck of trivia.
