How to Catch a Comet that Hasn't Been Discovered Yet

Summary by Phys.org
There's been a lot of speculation recently about interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS—much of which is probably caused by low-quality data given that we have to observe it from either Earth, or in some cases, Mars. In either case, it's much further away than what would be the ideal. But that might not be the case for a future interstellar object.
