The mysterious bright flash was detected during routine observations from the ATLAS telescopes in Hawaii.
Scientists believe this could be as cold as it can get on the surface of Earth.
The spacecraft, which has flown nearly 280 million kilometers since taking to the skies, is part of a mission aimed at landing on the distant space object and retrieving samples for analysis on Earth.

Despite being underwater for nearly three decades, the mummy was not destroyed.
The orbital facility was launched in 2016 and has hosted a pair of astronaut for 30 days, the longest-ever human spaceflight mission for China.
In the year 2015, the impact of these leaks on climate was just as much as the impact of CO2 emissions from all coal-fired plants in the U.S.
The original wolf population in Yellowstone National Park was pretty much wiped out by the 1920s, but the large predators were reintroduced there in the 1990s.
First red nuggets were observed around ten years ago with NASA and ESA's Hubble Space Telescope.
The research team proved the theory after observing a galaxy located some 450 million light-years away from Earth with Hubble and ESO's Very Large Telescope.
Our galaxy has more than 150 densely packed globular star clusters, but they differ from stars seen in other parts of the galaxy.
Declaring it as a “planet-encircling” dust event, NASA noted that the grainy particles making up the storm have grown significantly over the Gale crater or the location where its Curiosity rover has been operating since 2012.
Ordinary matter, everything we can touch and see, accounts for only 5 percent of the entire mass-energy of the universe. Of that, we have only now been able to spot the final one-third.
The surprising discovery suggests we have been representing the apex predator in a wrong way.

NASA is conducting a series of experiments onboard the International Space Station to investigate if a sextant could be used on future deep-space missions.
The initial analysis of the fossil suggested the creature had a surprisingly large tube-shaped body, measuring approximately up to 50 cm or more.
The researchers analyzed late Jurassic-era fossils to delve into the evolution of fearsome crocodilian mouths.
The discovery of these worlds is a crucial first step to find life beyond Earth, but the next step requires direct observation and imaging, which could be simplified with the new technique.
