One of the facinating things about this is that simulations show that it "may have been captured by Earth around 2016–2017" [1].

In 2017 we had a visitor from outer space called ʻOumuamua :)

This new object is also about 2-3.5 meters according to wikipedia so I want someone to send a ship to capture this Van Neumann probe [2]!

(Yes I know it's not likely but it is cool to think about)
