Giant Space Cigar: New Observations Show Weird Interstellar Asteroid is 'like Nothing Seen Before'
A few weeks ago, something surprising happened when astronomers noticed an odd object moving quickly through the Solar System. Being on a large looping trajectory, it was first thought to be a previously unknown comet, but then calculations showed that it couldn't have originated from within the Solar System, it must have come from somewhere else. Follow-up observations also showed that it was more like an asteroid, rather than a comet. Now, astronomers have published their most detailed findings yet, and this object, named 'Oumuamua (Hawaiian, meaning scout or messenger coming from the past), is "like nothing seen before."

Four 'Star Wars' Memories That Have Helped to Define Me as a Person and a Film Fan
To me, Star Wars defines why I love movies. Firstly, of course, it's the escapism, which diving into such a vast, detailed and fascinating fictional universe offers. However, and perhaps more importantly, it's also the way it works as this mirror for real life moral struggles and emotions in general. You see, there is something special or refreshing about seeing these relatable themes and moments unfold in a setting, which is so far away from reality, and yet, they still feel real.

'Star Wars: Rogue One' Reshoots — Setting the Precedent
Upon hearing the news that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is reportedly "in crisis", with Disney ordering expensive reshoots of the franchise's first spin-off, I was not worried. Reshoots have happened to many movies that, in the end, turned out great and probably just needed little tweaking. What got me slightly worried though, is the supposed reason behind the reshoots - an effort to lighten the tone of the film... a film that is supposed to be a war film.
