“If ‘Oumuamua is a member of a population of similar objects on random trajectories, then the Vera C. Rubin Observatory (VRO), which is scheduled to have its first light next year, should detect roughly one ‘Oumuamua-like object per month. We will all wait with anticipation to see what it will find.”

Nice find Tapxe in 2017. Didn’t realize there was something on this here. You make me proud!

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Our solar system’s first known interstellar visitor is neither a comet nor asteroid as first suspected and looks nothing like a cigar. A new study says the mystery object is likely a remnant of a Pluto-like world and shaped like a cookie.

Arizona State University astronomers reported this week that the strange 148-foot (45-meter) object that appears to be made of frozen nitrogen, just like the surface of Pluto and Neptune’s largest moon Triton.

The study’s authors, Alan Jackson and Steven Desch, think an impact knocked a chunk off an icy nitrogen-covered planet 500 million years ago and sent the piece tumbling out of its own star system, toward ours. The reddish remnant is believed to be a sliver of its original self, its outer layers evaporated by cosmic radiation and, more recently, the sun.


It’s named Oumuamua, Hawaiian for scout, in honor of the observatory in Hawaii that discovered it in 2017............

Vulcan, Klingon, Asgaard, or Ga'al? Which alien race is it?

Another day, another theory on what interstellar object 'Oumuamua is.

In a new study, researchers from Yale University believe that the first-known interstellar visitor, which flew past Earth four years ago, is not an alien craft or space rock, but rather a 35-million-year old hydrogen iceberg from deep space.

The findings, which have been published in the pre-print journal Arxiv, suggest the object emanated from a giant molecular cloud (GMC), a type of interstellar cloud that allow the formation of molecules, usually hydrogen.............

That's just what the aliens would like us to believe.

The mysterious cloud of space rocks and debris at the edge of the solar system may have spiral arms, making it resemble a mini galaxy, a new study says.

The Oort cloud is a theoretical debris shell at the gravitational edge of the solar system whose origin could shed more light on the source of comets as well as the origin of our neighbouring planets.

It is estimated to exist 2,000 to 5,000 astronomical units away, with 1 AU being the distance between the Earth and the Sun.

The giant cloud of detritus is thought to be the source of strange comets and meteorites flying past Earth such as the mysterious cigar-shaped rock known as Oumuamua that was spotted in October 2017………
