They finally found a chunk of something coming into the Solar System. Something much bigger than cosmic rays or dust particles.

Some of you may find this site useful for tracking Borisov. I use this for observing comets. Unfortunately, Borisov is a lot dimmer than the comets I have successfully observed, but perhaps we'll get lucky and it will get much brighter in December. It is certainly a wildcard as to how it may behave when it approaches perihelion.
