The article focuses on a study which suggests the Earth may contain rocks from other parts of the Milky Way galaxy. It comments on the extrasolar asteroid 'Oumuamua which was discovered passing through the solar system in October 2017 and mentions researchers believe there may be nearly 29 trillion 'Oumuamua-like objects for each cubic light year in the galaxy. It considers how 'Oumuamua-like objects could help accelerate planetary formation which explains why earlier stars have fewer planets.
