Former business manager Keya Morgan, also a memorabilia collector, inserted himself into Lee's life and slowly began to isolate the man from his close friends, family, and business consultants.

As a child, Lee was influenced by books and movies, especially ones with Errol Flynn playing heroic roles. By the time Lee was in his teens, the family was living in a tiny apartment in The Bronx, where he and his brother shared a room, while his parents slept on a foldout couch.

Marvel Comics became a force to be reckoned with and changed the lives of many people, including Lee. Characters that he helped to create are now the basis of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is one of the biggest franchises in history. Stan Lee has made cameos in all of the MCU films and will more than likely be seen on the big screen for the last time in Spider-Man: Far from Home, which comes out next year.

style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While astronomers around the world had their eyes fixed last year on ‘Oumuamua, a lump of rock from another planetary system that whizzed through ours, little did they know that another interstellar interloper was quietly living among us.</span></span></b></i></div><a name='more'></a><i><b> And this one appears to have been here for billions of years.</b></i><br /><br /><i><b> </b></i><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Astronomers first spotted the object, an asteroid called 2015 BZ509 that is orbiting close to Jupiter, in 2014. They knew it was unusual because it was traveling around the solar system in the opposite direction as almost everything else. (Its motion is shown in the animations above, with 2015 BZ509 circled.) Astronomers have found other objects in “retrograde” orbits, perhaps knocked off course by passing too close to a giant planet, but 2015 BZ509’s orbit was the weirdest of all because it is also elongated and out of alignment with the planets and other bodies.</span></span></b></i></div><i><b> </b></i><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To find out why, a pair of astronomers ran a series of 1 million simulations of the asteroid’s orbit, each with slightly different parameters. Jupiter’s orbit is a busy part of the solar system where the risk of being knocked off course is high, so eccentric orbits that are stable long term are unlikely. But the researchers found a number of possible orbits that were stable and concluded it is much more likely that 2015 BZ509 is in one of them, rather than that it happened to arrive for a short-term visit. Some of those stable orbits, if wound back in time, would mean that 2015 BZ509 has been with us since the beginning of our solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago.</span></span></b></i></div><i><b> </b></i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2QjnwhlI_9s/WwRt0bnJWzI/AAAAAAAAI2M/ajY3-1Kzcf8uKYTFUH4gxKNf_eZc9yyYACLcBGAs/s1600/158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2QjnwhlI_9s/WwRt0bnJWzI/AAAAAAAAI2M/ajY3-1Kzcf8uKYTFUH4gxKNf_eZc9yyYACLcBGAs/s640/158.JPG" width="640" /></a></b></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sign up for our daily newsletter</span></span></b></i></div><i><b> </b></i><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Get more great content like this delivered right to you!</span></span></b></i></div><i><b> </b></i><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You agree to share your email address with the publication.

Instead, the asteroid must have been drifting through space and was captured by the sun’s gravity.</span></span></b></i></div><i><b> </b></i><div class="MsoNormal"><i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That’s not as far-fetched as it seems. The sun and its planets formed inside a closely packed cluster of stars—which have since moved on—and any object ejected from one planetary system by gravitational interaction could conceivably end up in another. The discovery of 2015 BZ509 quietly living in the solar system suggests we should look again at some other oddball asteroids; the team’s simulations suggest that some of them may be interstellar interlopers as well. And if space agencies deemed it worth visiting one of them, we could find out whether other planetary systems are made of the same stuff as ours.</span></span></b></i></div><br /><br /><div
