Unveiling the Mystery of 'Oumuamua: A Visitor from Another Solar System
In 2017, astronomers spotted a peculiar object in our solar system: a long tube-shaped object resembling a pancake. This object, named 'Oumuamua, was unlike any known asteroid or comet, with an exterior at least 10 times more reflective than typical space objects. Some even likened its surface to polished metal. As it passed the Sun and left our reach, it accelerated faster than our gravity could account for, appearing to have a propulsion system. 'Oumuamua's unique characteristics led scientists to speculate about its origins and nature.
