20. Interstellar: Occurring or situated between the stars

Yes, I had to verify the definition, sad to say.

This is fascinating. Stars, I gather, are like planets in that they have gravity, and have planets orbiting them. But an object that travels between them? I'd never really thought about it, but it wouldn't seem possible. How would it leave the gravity?

I wonder how they know it came from outside the area? Fascinating.

I wonder where the meteors that have struck earth came from?
