So what is it then ? Damn don't leave us hanging like that

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

How could they know the where the asteroid came from?.. “edges of space”… gtfoh
This article and headline are so full of shit

edge of space is like 100km up

The article makes perfect sense, but I think reddit has a bot that writes the headlines, and it's not very smart.
They know because the samples brought back are typical of bodies that formed beyond Jupiter. That's a pretty weird definition of "edges of outer space," but the ClickBot may have failed 4th grade science.

They’re obviously talking about one of the other edges

Leave it to the media to take something interesting and misinform the public so badly.

Did you click on the article? The title says “OUTER LIMITS: Scientists Discover Asteroid Ryugu Came From Edges of Outer Space”. What does that have to do with Reddit?

IIRC, from my 3rd grade days, "outer space" is past the asteroid belt, and "inner space" is before it.

Edge of Space is just That, and on the other side is "The Edge...of Night"

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!

So, scientists found a thing in space that was different from another set of things that are from very different regions of space.

Came here to say this! It’s almost as bad as “terrifying new discovery on Jupiter that changes EVERYTHING”…
Rattlez t1_ittsewk wrote
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.
