Counter-threaded rock discovered in our solar system

Our solar system appears to have an immigrant.

The asteroid has been given the scientific name (514107) 2015 BZ509. He orbits around the planet Jupiter. The rock was discovered in 2014, but now its origin is determined. The scientists do not yet know exactly when and how (514107) 2015 BZ509 is included in our solar system.

The boulder is contrarian. All planets rotate in the same direction around the sun, and the moons and most rocks do the same. They follow the direction of the gas cloud from which they arose 4.5 billion years ago. But (514107) 2015 BZ509 goes the other way. That indicates that he comes from somewhere else.

It is not the first time that an object was found that comes from outside our solar system. Last year was also seen such a boulder, 'Oumuamua called, but that was' passing through' and will fly away in a while.
