In September, the first confirmed extrasolar object visited our solar system. Ź»Oumuamua is a 230 m Ć— 35 m Ć— 35 m asteroid on a highly inclined hyperbolic orbit which arrived in the Solar System from the direction of Vega with 26.3 km/s relative velocity, accelerated to 87.7 km/s at perihelion inside Mercury's orbit on September 9, 2017, and has departed towards Pegasus, never to return.

taken by one of the two 18 cm small bots on Ryugu:
This is a picture from MINERVA-II1. The color photo was captured by Rover-1A on September 21 around 13:08 JST, immediately after separation from the spacecraft. Hayabusa2 is top and Ryugu's surface is below. The image is blurred because the rover is spinning. #asteroidlanding pic.twitter.com/CeeI5ZjgmM— HAYABUSA2@JAXA (@haya2e_jaxa) September 22, 2018

I love that those rovers are moving around the asteroid by jumping

Check the simulation
There's a brief write-up at @PhysicsWorld here: https://t.co/dqI3RoCjuL with more images. Here's the image seen (left) compared with a simulation (middle) and the simulation blurred to the expected resolution of the telescope (right).
